  • Proton VPN broke my Wi-fi. How do I avoid that if I want to use it again?

  • Proton VPN for Linux is Totally F*cked UP
    5 projects | /r/ProtonVPN | 17 May 2023
    What OS are you running Proton VPN on? The OP is referring to Linux. What version of the Linux app are you running? CLI or GUI? I think you’ll find that there are a number of varying experiences you can get between the two since the repo was last updated: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-app What numbered version of that Linux app are you running?
  • Maybe ProtonVPN will listen to the needs of Linux users now. Should the subreddit do a poll as well?
    1 project | /r/ProtonVPN | 25 Apr 2023
    Just for curiosity, I cloned your ProtonVPN/linux-app repo to see the current situations.
  • PIA on silverblue?
    1 project | /r/Fedora | 24 Apr 2023
    Generally this sort of thing is considered bad (on all distros, not just Silverblue), and other VPN providers have open source applications packaged as RPMs (e.g. ProtonVPN), which is better (though YMMV still with external packages).
  • Proton Drive Desktop App release?
    1 project | /r/ProtonDrive | 21 Apr 2023
    Oh, so you're a C developer that knows how long such an implementation takes? Great! Maybe you can do an open source client in a true linux style. You can start here: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-app
  • A detailed appraisal of the Proton VPN Linux client
    3 projects | /r/ProtonVPN | 7 Apr 2023
    Basically, I assume Proton has already abandoned their Linux client (both gui and cli). Look at their github repositories (https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-app and https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli). Their last commit was half year ago, while windows, android, ios and mac client are still actively maintained.

    https://protonvpn.com/download-linux Or just use wireguard
  • Proton VPN *.deb package cannot be found
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 5 Jan 2023
    I am trying to set up Proton VPN on my desktop. The System76 "Install and Use VPNs" page [https://support.system76.com/articles/use-vpn-software\] indicates there is a *.deb package to download on the Proton website. When I go there and sign up for a free account, then try to download the GNU/Linux package from https://account.protonvpn.com/downloads, I am taken to the https://protonvpn.com/download-linux page where I am told to "follow the instructions on our Linux support page". Clicking that link, I am taken to https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup/, where I'm told "It’s simple to get Proton VPN for free on Linux for the distro of your choice" (link provided). Clicking that, I am taken to https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn/linux, where I have to log in yet again. Doing that takes me back to the Dashboard page. This loop is NOT taking me to a *.deb download. I've been trying to get out of this loop for probably at least 2 hours. Their support section offers no way to contact anyone about this mess. Is there a way out of this madness?
