@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.

@deimos-aur Thanks

1. No it doesn't support from upstream and I cannot do anything about that Read here

2. I'm not sure and don't know about these technical details :) sorry

@shoryuken network-manager-applet is an optional dependency for python-proton-vpn-network-manager which is a dependency for this package, I cannot force the applet to all users, some DEs and WMs will not force you to have that

I installed this pkg via AUR and it works mostly as expected. Thank you for committing/maintaining all of the dependent AUR packages to make this work.

Two questions:

1. Does this support protonvpn wireguard servers? All I see are openvpn (udp/tcp) options.
2. Does this support expanded ports? protonvpn blocks a lot of ports outbound without this setting enabled.

So it's not just networkmanager that's required, but also network-manager-applet (of which networkmanager is a dependency): see e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=246698

Without this, you'd have to activate each interface manually using nmcli connection up --ask, so it's not usable in this way.

So please add network-manager-applet as a dependency so that users don't waste their time on useless searches and have the maximum chance of getting working software out of the box. Thanks! :)

Apparently, networkmanager had to be installed and enabled/started. If so, it should be a dependency, its absence shouldn't crash the app, and an explicit error message would be nice :)

Now I have an authentication problem:

2024-01-13T18:36:31.709247 | proton.vpn.app.gtk.widgets.main.exception_handler:163 | ERROR | APP:ERROR | Reconnection not possible due to authentication error.

    raise AuthenticationError("Reconnection not possible due to authentication error.")
proton.vpn.connection.exceptions.AuthenticationError: Reconnection not possible due to authentication error.

The app crashes when I try to connect to a server, has anyone ever had this?

I am trying to connect to a VPN connection but I get two warnings:

1. pvpn-killswitch-ipv6 
(Connection pvpn-killswitch-ipv6 deactivated)
2. ipv6leakintrf0
(IP configuration was unavailable).

I have had disabled IPV6 connections in /etc/ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1"

I also checked on a virtual machine (with IP6 disabled) and I get the same warnings but the app connects to a VPN.

EDIT
I checked with a IP6 enabled and still cannot connect to a VPN.
Artix Linux 6.6.9, Wayland, OpenRC

I cannot run it on Artix Wayland OpenRC. https://pastebin.com/h4LVkUa4 I have checked it on virtual machine using same set up (OpenRC and Wayland) and it is working. Very weird.

RuntimeError: The Secret Service daemon is neither running nor activatable through D-Bus

EDIT: Solved! I had to install gnome-keyring...

Forgot a dependency?
