Arch Linux User Repository

i can confirm theoldfellow's solution.

for paru users:

paru -R protonvpn
paru -R protonvpn-gui
paru -R protonvpn-cli
paru -S protonvpn

Updates:

The new official Linux CLI client is now available. Source code and AUR protonvpn-cli. Please upgrade to this client if possible.

As for this community version, I think it should be maintained here for a while longer as there have still been git changes over the last week. The latest version is 2.2.11. This package is now marked as conflicting with the official protonvpn-cli package.

Note: if upstream changes and the checksum needs to be updated, please try clean building to prevent caches from interfering.

According to Proton support and personal experience there's a dependency on network-manager-applet. protonvpn-cli won't connect unless nm-applet is running.

I've done a fresh reinstall, but every time I run the cli command with any arguments at all I get 4 identical warnings of:

<frozen importlib._bootstrap>:241: RuntimeWarning: greenlet.greenlet size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 40 from C header, got 160 from PyObject

Also, while I can login successfully, when I try to connect it throws an error of:

Invalid format in KEYRING_PROTON_USER

Should I report this upstream? I didn't find any issues about these errors when I searched on GitHub.

Please rename source line to rename downloaded source file to include pkgname and pkgver in its name:

source=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli/archive/refs/tags/$pkgver.tar.gz")

I also remind that I could not repeat the issue as in my computers the protonvpn-cli v3.12.0 works fine.

@AnarchoJohn Did you remove with all dependencies and then recompile from scratch? If so then please write also to ProtonVPN Team contact@protonvpn.com and describe your issues. We cannot solve source issues by ProtonVPN. I usually write here but at the same time initially write as fast as I can also to ProtonVPN customer support.

I tried that already, that didn't solve it.

@AnarchoJohn Please see my comment at 2022-05-27. I propose to completely remove and then reinstall again. At least for me it solved issues. Current v3.12.0 works fine - just tested.

I get a broken pipe
