Oh what a headache. Well, it was easy once I figured out what I needed. 2 versions, 2 tutorials, so as of October 2024, the easiest way I found to set it up is to use the Proton VPN gtk app from the AUR. I’m running Arch so, it was a bit more difficult.
Anyway, you need to build and compile a lot of source files from the AUR. To make things super easy, I created a very quick and unprofessional script. It also saves you hunting around for the repositories. Tested on my computer and it works, I need one however, that I haven’t tested it.
If you want to download the script, you can…
Download it, make a directory (I called mine git), copy it to that directory, then type without quotes “sudo chmod +x proton-script.sh”
Then
“./proton-script.sh”
It should work without any issues. You will need to put in your password in several times however, so you can always mod the script.
If you don’t like downloading, copy and paste the below:
