Arch Linux User Repository

Hey all, I understand all on the arch community are eager in trying the new app, thus I'll leave here what I wrote on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/17clwac/comment/k5r1qdg):

We’d love to support the new app for arch Linux but honestly we’re understaffed and don’t have the bandwidth to be supporting the same distros that we did before with the previous client (4 packages before vs 10 packages now). If anyone from the community is willing to make AUR packages for themselves and publish/maintain them we’re totally fine with that, as long as people keep in mind that it would be an unofficial version because we currently don’t support arch Linux with the new v4 app.

Also if anyone’s interested: https://boards.eu.greenhouse.io/proton/jobs/4140067101

Thus I ask people not to flag this as out-of-date for the following reasons: - v4 is a total new implementation and another package, thus marking this as out-of-date is pointless because a new AUR package has to be created for this new version - I won't be either orphaning these packages because there are still people interested in the v3, be it in the GUI or CLI

“protonvpn-gui 1.0.0-1” fails to connect. Blocked on a window “Close”.

Have to reverse to v0.7.3 which do the job.

Manjaro Linux 21.0.7 Ornara

thanks it worked but please implement 'alternative routing' i have to use tor over the protonvpn app to login first because it's blocked in my country, but it works fine in windows and android

Hey @miss_barfin

The keys should be imported automatically, if not please do the following:

1. Download our public key: https://repo.protonvpn.com/debian/public_key.asc

2. pacman-key --add /path/to/downloaded/public_key.asc

3. Verify the fingerprint: pacman-key --finger keyid

4. Sign the key: pacman-key --lsign-key keyid

After doing this, it should work well for you.

Ok thanks for the update :) will keep an eye on @protontechag https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=protontechag&SeB=m

Hey shuriken,

The official client will be officially released released by Proton on AUR once the project is stable. One package has already been shared: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-client/

https://protonvpn.com/download-linux

The official GUI app is stable, has anyone tried creating a PKGBUILD for the AUR ?

Hey all. As an FYI, the current package will no longer receive further updates, as the official GUI is currently being developed.

Hey @Dwa30v

This issue is not with the GUI but rather with the python interpreter/version. Re-installing the app should fix the issue.
