Hey everyone, I am currently tly running openSUSE tumbleweed on my daily driver and I am looking to use ProtonVPN on it. I installed the ProtonVPN GUI from the repos but it’s really slow and does not seem to actually work.

I did find I can manually configure it with wireguard but I would prefer a GUI.

Any advice?

If you want real support, you should say more than “it doesn’t work”

The GUI version was working a month or so ago, but a recent Tumbleweed update broke openVPN when using port forwarding via natpmpc. Bug report here bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236718

Wireguard on the Proton GUI client on Linux is experimental, don’t use it except for testing. Use the manual setup, and make sure to test for DNS leaks.

I installed protonvpn from flatpak and its working fine.

Are you running KDE or Gnome? If you’re using Gnome, there’s an extension to manage wireguard. I flip a switch in the top bar, and done.

Depending on the DE you use, there’s a chance that theres something to manage VPN connections from the network manager, so you dont have to use the actual protonvpn app and still can use their servers

you can download protonvpn config files for that here: account.protonvpn.com/downloads
