[SOLVED] ProtonVPN on Arch Linux (CachyOS) ? - eviltoast

How to install ProtonVPN in Arch Linux (CachyOS) ?

Should I follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ProtonVPN ?

OR

from flathub https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www ?

This flatpak has Unverified tag, but according to this, this flatpak is safe.

Which one should I follow ?

Asking this because I’m because I’m a bit lazy to configure OpenVPN and all that stuff. (pls don’t kill me :)

Also do you think using VPN from flatpak is a good idea?



Solved

I just installed aur mentioned in the wiki and it worked just fine. Didn’t need to install anything else in my case.

    If I’m reading that correctly, yeah all you should need to do is install the AUR package. 1.1-1.3 in that section are different options that don’t depend on each other.

      I think that particular page needs to be bit more concise.

      Thank You.

        It’s common for arch wiki pages to give multiple options for software to install.

          I mean it’s never mentioned anywhere that they are multiple options. It’s just say 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3, so I got confused. Maybe it’s because I’m new to Arch.
