It's a shame that Proton VPN has no official flatpak. The Arch Linux AUR package's been broken for a long while now.
Its crazy that they have a Flatpak though.
MullvadVPN wouldnt work because they do really privileged stuff to hook in your connection, block it on early boot etc. Your device is pretty much airgapped.
A flatpak cant do that.
Yeah. The protonvpn-gtk-app (or something like that) AUR package works fine, though. Really barebones but does the job.
I'd take a barebones but functional app over a one-bazillion-features but buggy and broken app any day of the week
Will check that out
What? It work for me flawlessly.
Doesn't exist anymore in the AUR
it works perfectly well for me. im even posting this reply connected to protonvpn from AUR [garuda-linux]
It doesn't even exist anymore, you are probably using something old.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proton-vpn-gtk-app
Aint the official one
Except, it is.. Click on upstream link and first you see on the readme on github is this: copyright (c) 2023 Proton AG
Isn't that the majority of AUR?
Not really, most of the AUR points to the official source. And in this particular case, the actual Proton team was actually managing the AUR package.
Neat, I've been using endevourOS as a secondary distro on my laptop (it's the only OS installed) for a few months now so I'm still learning lol.
Exactly like this package. There is always a upstream link, this is it for proton: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app
Damn why no one told me about this??
Agreed, but I am glad they at least have the option to set it up through WireGuard.
