Installation Guide: Windows
Download the Installer
Visit the OrbVPN website or click the Windows download button above to download the installer (.exe file).
Run the Installer
Double-click the downloaded file. If Windows Defender SmartScreen appears, click More info and then Run anyway. The installer is digitally signed.
Follow Setup Wizard
Accept the license agreement, choose an installation directory (or keep the default), and click Install. The process takes about 30 seconds.
Launch OrbVPN
Once installation is complete, OrbVPN will launch automatically. You can also find it in your Start menu or on your desktop.
TAP Driver Installation
The Windows installer may prompt you to install a network TAP driver. This is required for VPN tunneling. Click Install when prompted by the Windows security dialog.
Installation Guide: macOS
Download the DMG File
Download OrbVPN-latest.dmg from the link below or from orbvpn.com/download. It is one universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel, signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple. (The macOS button above opens the Mac App Store instead.)
Open the DMG
Double-click the downloaded .dmg file to mount it. A new Finder window will open showing the OrbVPN application.
Drag to Applications
Drag the OrbVPN icon to the Applications folder shortcut shown in the window. This copies the app to your system.
Launch and Authorize
Open OrbVPN from your Applications folder or Launchpad. On first launch, macOS may ask you to confirm opening an app from the internet. Click Open. Authorize the VPN configuration when prompted.
Direct download (DMG)
Download OrbVPN-latest.dmg: universal (Apple Silicon and Intel), notarized by Apple, for macOS 13.5 or later. This link always serves the newest build.
Installation Guide: Linux / Ubuntu
Download the Package
Download OrbVPN-latest_amd64.deb for Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+ (recommended), or OrbVPN-latest-linux-x64.tar.gz for other systemd-based distributions, from orbvpn.com/download. Both are 64-bit (amd64) and always serve the newest build.
Install via Package Manager
For Ubuntu/Debian run sudo apt install ./OrbVPN-latest_amd64.deb (apt installs the dependencies). For the tar.gz run tar -xzf OrbVPN-latest-linux-x64.tar.gz, then cd OrbVPN-*-linux-x64 && sudo ./install.sh.
Launch OrbVPN
Open OrbVPN from your application launcher or run orbx in a terminal. The app itself runs as your user; the privileged orbvpn-service helper, installed as a systemd unit, creates the tunnel.
Verify Installation
Run orbvpn-service -version to print the installed version and systemctl status orbvpn-service to confirm the helper is running, then sign in from the app.
Root Privileges
Creating VPN tunnels and changing routes needs root on Linux, so OrbVPN does that work in the orbvpn-service systemd helper. The graphical app stays unprivileged; sudo is needed only to install the package.
