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

[-] Tyoda@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

Will check that out

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.

What? It work for me flawlessly.

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

Doesn't exist anymore in the AUR

[-] Voltage@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

Isn't that the majority of AUR?

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

Damn why no one told me about this??

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month 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@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago

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