- Anything to support this v3 working as mentioned by @calexandru2018? To me some dependencies with proton.constants are causing issues -- maybe you can fix this upstream..
- I agree with @rizumu that the description should notify its state.
- An alternative in #proton-vpn-gtk-app exists by @ali.molaei.
Can anyone confirm (1)? And if so, maybe we can alter the description (2) maybe even by (3). If not, then someone more advanced then myself should make a verdict on whatever or not to spare people from debugging and being confused from this package by flagging it.

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Thus I ask people not to flag this as out-of-date for the following reasons: - v4 is a total new implementation and another package, thus marking this as out-of-date is pointless because a new AUR package has to be created for this new version - I won't be either orphaning these packages because there are still people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