Help with ProtonVPN app

General

Hi all,

My first post here, be gentle :smiley:
I want to install ProtonVPN gui app as I have subscription there, so why not to use it.
I tried to layer it, but after all troubleshooting, suppport told me that app doesnt behave well on Fedora Silverblue ( it is official supported on workstation btw)

So I thought, maybe I can install it in distrobox :

ujust distrobox-fedora

or

ujust distrobox-ubuntu

as it is supported for both Fedora and Ubuntu. Than follow those steps :

1. Download the package. Enter:

wget https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-39-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.1-2.noarch.rpm

2. Install the Proton VPN repository containing the new app. Run:

sudo dnf install ./protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.1-2.noarch.rpm

3. If you’re running the old (v3) Proton VPN app or CLI (stable or beta versions), simply run:

sudo dnf check-update && dnf upgrade

If you don’t have Proton VPN installed, run:

sudo dnf install --refresh proton-vpn-gnome-desktop

To check for updates and ensure that you’re running the latest version of the app, enter:

sudo dnf check-update && dnf upgrade

Is this good way or is there some better way ?

Thanks

No need! You can just install the flatpak.

Indeed, the flatpak app works perfect!

I know, but in case of any issue, no official support from Proton.

Is there any other options to install it ? If not I will try flatpak

Personally, I import the OVPN settings.
