Arch Linux User Repository

@shoryuken thank you, that worked!

@ali.molaei I'm not sure of technicalities of dependencies, but if you cannot force network-manager-applet as 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.

getting the following error:

@ali.molaei, thank you!

@ShayanB It should be fixed now

Getting the following error on a clean install.

it started working again. It was not asking for 2fa code during those attempts. It suddenly asked for it and everything works ever since.

for some reason protonvpn asks for my credentials on startup. It never did that until yesterday. As if it cannot remember the creds... Anyone else has that problem?

EDIT: now protonvpn crashes right after i enter my creds. I tried reinstalling everything (even the orphans) and it still crashes after i try to connect. it just shuts down.

re:edit: it works after 2-4 tries... still bugs me though, its not normal..

@Yamashiro Maybe try deleting "app data":

rm -r $HOME/{.config/Proton/VPN,.cache/Proton/VPN,.cert/nm-openvpn/ProtonVPN-*}

Of course backup first if you not sure.

Having the same issue as @texer22, I have entered my login info and 2FA code only to be told it's wrong. After that I'm unable to even open the app, it will briefly show up in the task bar and crash, and if I try to start it using the terminal I get the following error:

@ali.molaei when I said add git as makedepends mean not only just for this package, but also all dependencies you maintained (python-proton-*). Or better use tarball since upstream now have it, so no need git and it can use checksum instead of just SKIP. Also there is no need $_gitpkgname when they have same value as $pkgname.

Edit: almost forgot the most important thing, as maintainer you should build package in clean chroot
