It's a shame that Proton VPN has no official flatpak. The Arch Linux AUR package's been broken for a long while now.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Tyoda@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah. The protonvpn-gtk-app (or something like that) AUR package works fine, though. Really barebones but does the job.

[-] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I'd take a barebones but functional app over a one-bazillion-features but buggy and broken app any day of the week

[-] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Will check that out

[-] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

What? It work for me flawlessly.

[-] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Doesn't exist anymore in the AUR

[-] Voltage@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

it works perfectly well for me. im even posting this reply connected to protonvpn from AUR [garuda-linux]

[-] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

It doesn't even exist anymore, you are probably using something old.

Except, it is.. Click on upstream link and first you see on the readme on github is this: copyright (c) 2023 Proton AG

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Isn't that the majority of AUR?

[-] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Exactly like this package. There is always a upstream link, this is it for proton: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app

[-] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

Damn why no one told me about this??

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Molten_Moron 2 points 2 months ago

Agreed, but I am glad they at least have the option to set it up through WireGuard.
