@mkudinov @ali.molaei According to https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-debian/
3. Required dependencies:
Our Linux app needs one of the following dependencies installed in order to work. Installing both of these dependencies is not recommended as it may cause problems:
KWallet or
Gnome-keyring
So I think the dependencies should be both gnome-keyring or kwallet.
But this comment more or less applies to python-proton-keyring-linux since I think that's the actual package that has gnome-keyring as a dependency.

@mkudinov about your comment UPD 4
Can you try without that rule and with the new updates I made (adding keyring and other deps) and see if the app connects or not? I didn't have to modify any polkit rule on my gnome system
ali.molaei commented on 2023-11-03 15:02 (UTC)
@mkudinov @calexandru2018 thanks for the feedback, the dependencies are added
mkudinov commented on 2023-11-03 13:19 (UTC) (edited on 2023-11-03 13:19 (UTC) by mkudinov)
A bunch of other dependencies:
python-requests - without this the program won't start
gnome-keyring - without this the nm-applet would ask for a password in a loop
network-manager-applet - without this you won't be able to authenticate. nm-applet should be running when connecting
More info here: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli/issues/49#issuecomment-910662957

I think the issue is that it's missing keyring dependencies:

@ali.molaei updated my previous comment.
"I can connect to any server without any problems :-?"
Perhaps another dependency is missing?
UPD: I've got a terrible thought after looking at authentication denied, that perhaps running protonvpn-app as root would solve this... And it actually did! Ofc I instantly closed the program after making sure that it works.
Do you have any suggestions what could be wrong?
UPD 2: Confirmed this behavior on fresh install of Endeavor OS in a VM. When trying to connect I get a nm applet window prompting for a password. When I enter password nothing happens and after a few seconds I get the same window prompting again. When running as root I connect immediately without any password prompts. On my main system (i3 wm) I didn't even get any prompts.
UPD 3: It turns out that it requires network-manager-applet to show password prompt window. But providing a password has no effect and after a few seconds the same window would occur again. Without network-manager-applet it just straight up fails with Connection error: authentication denied.
UPD 4: SOLVED. In order to connect I had to set up PolicyKit permissions via adding the user to the network group and creating /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules. For more info https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager#Set_up_PolicyKit_permissions

@mkudinov did you connect with the same account (You mentioned yes) and to the same server? or the server was random? I can connect to any server without any problems :-?
mkudinov commented on 2023-11-02 21:43 (UTC) (edited on 2023-11-02 21:52 (UTC) by mkudinov)
@ali.molaei No problem, I'm happy that I could help.
Well I've installed proton-vpn-gnome-desktop on Ubuntu 23.10 from ProtonVPN website instruction and I could connect just fine with the same account. So I'm not sure.
UPD: I've just tried connecting to the same server on both Ubuntu and Arch. While Ubuntu connects without any problems, Arch givesConnection error: authentication denied. Ubuntu runs in a VM, Arch is a host, so same hardware.
Perhaps

@mkudinov Sorry for not having that as a dependency, I've now added it to python-proton-vpn-network-manager-openvpn dependencies. There is nothing to blame on you, it's just that this package is still young and I'm fixing problems that I've not encountered myself with my setup, so thanks for baring with me and reporting the issues
About Connection error: authentication denied, I'm not sure that is related to this package. This may be a ProtonVPN bug that is showing you the connections you don't have plan access to them?

I've added
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent-binas optional dependency, I worked onhttps://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agenta bit to build it from source, but I have a weird issue with it so I'm not depending this package on that by default for now.For those who know a bit about rust packaging, the issue with building from source for me is: - If I copy the build
sofile usingcpcommand it works fine - If I package it (usinginstallin PKGBUILD) and put the file there by installing the package using pacman, It doesn't work! although the files have the same checksum.I have no idea why is that and am open to any help on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent package

@shoryuken thank you, that worked!
@ali.molaei I'm not sure of technicalities of dependencies, but if you cannot force
network-manager-appletas a dependency I think you should at least pin some comment explaining that getting it might fix issues. As it stands I accidentally found the solution at other package page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonvpn-cli#comment-951908, and only since it's the newest one.
