Good Morning everyone!
I am currently running fedora kinotie 41 and am trying to figure out how to install protonVPN on it, I would prefer the GUI version but that is just me. I can’t seem to find any guides or anything online and I would appreciate any help!
Thanks!
ProtonVPN is on Flathub, I’ve had no issues with it.
Add the rpm from protons website then rpm-ostree install package name.
This is one of the situations where layering packages is appropriate.
Because that is the only way official to install the Proton VPN app on Fedora systems??
This is what I do for Bazzite and Mullvad.
I can’t get it to update through the repo while layered, so I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall using the new rpm each time. I keep saying I’m going to get around to troubleshooting it and then forget about it until the next update.
You can get it on Flathub. However as pointed out by other commenters, it is unofficial.
It’s worth noting that it is unofficial and maintained by a community member.
You can check the package script easily, and it looks pretty boilerplate-standard to me, but people deserve to make informed choices!
Protonvpn on flathub worked for me on fedora sway immutable for everything except port forwarding. I just couldn’t get proton vpn’s port forwarding to work on fedora immutable, I ended up switching distros.
I don’t use Fedora so I’m going to be one of those annoying people and not answer your question. However, I found the official UI to be awful and glitchy on Linux. I use Ubuntu with KDE Plasma and imported a few different Proton OpenVPN country configs into network manager and they work great. It’s possible to import wireguard config also, but IIRC there was a bit of fiddling with that.
