      From the code I think the client itself is written in Go and the electron part is a frontend. But I couldn’t get the Go client to run without the electron frontend.

      This is the page for the client in case someone wants to help get this tunning without the electron frontend: https://client.pritunl.com/

        Seriously, why?! Go has UI libraries (plus Qt/GTK bindings) and you don’t need something that complicated for a VPN client.

        Does the frontend need to be active all the time? Then you effectively have Chrome always running while doing literally nothing most of the time, can’t imagine you have to fiddle with the VPN that often.
