How to install ProtonVPN in Arch Linux (CachyOS) ?

This flatpak has Unverified tag, but according to this, this flatpak is safe.

Which one should I follow ?

Asking this because I'm because I'm a bit lazy to configure OpenVPN and all that stuff. (pls don't kill me :)

Also do you think using VPN from flatpak is a good idea?

I used OpenVPN via the kde plasma settings app.

You mean you downloaded all the OpenVPN profiles by Proton and imported it to settings?

[-] Shatpoz1288@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, compared to the desktop apps it sucks. But it’ll get the job done.

I guess by doing this way we can't tell which server has less load just by looking it, right?

Yeah and, for example, I believe the ios app switches to less busy servers automatically by default.

It’s got its downsides but I’m willing to live with this cuz im a bit paranoid and don’t wanna use non-official flatpaks 😂

Makes sense, especially for something as important as VPN.

Thank you.
