I initially wanted to file a bug report on Github, but

it just directs me to https://protonvpn.com/support/ and I got lost where I should go to file the bug report

if anyone knows, and if you experience the same issues, can you please file the report on our behalfs? thank you

 

upon installation of the most up to date 4.7.1, I couldn't start the Protonvpn

TLDR, reinstall proton-vpn-gnome-desktop, fixes the issues.

below are my terminal history,

similar to the bug report from reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1gjhaoi/protonvpn_update_on_linux_mint_213_fails_to_start/ (front end: https://redlib.privacyredirect.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1gjhaoi/protonvpn_update_on_linux_mint_213_fails_to_start/)

how can i dothat?

 

I used to be a command line interface (CLI) user and still prefer it, but the graphical user interface (GUI) app has been good—it's stable and fast with WireGuard.

It will reconnect if the connection drops, and the kill switch is functioning. If you're using the v3 CLI, you should check out the new GUI.

A big thank you to the dev

until there is a cli, i will using the gui

A reasonable position would be to ask cosmic to make the other window take up the unused space.

i xposted to pop os and less say they don't like it 😐

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

i think it is the latest proton has.

source code points to the repo https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app

latest build of the flatpak was 16 hours ago from now
