I cannot reproduce this and AFAIK it doesn't look related to the packaging, I'd rather open a ticket with protonvpn-nm-lib to see the reason why this is getting triggered.

[andreystepanov]

Having the same issue on NixOS.

I can't figure out if it's related to specific user network configuration in NixOS or lack of some dependencies needed for protonvpn to work properly.

@ajmasia Have you found a solution?

[andreystepanov]

Adding user to networkmanager group fixed the issue for me.

Here’s NixOS documentation.

@ajmasia give it a try!

[WolfangAukang]

@andreystepanov that makes sense. I already insert my user on that group (although the reason is unrelated to protonvpn), that's why I was not able to reproduce this. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if adding this kind of option is possible on the packaging.

[ajmasia]

Sorry @andreystepanov but I stopped using protonvpn and have not tried it again 😊

[WolfangAukang]

FYI, there is an issue on the official repo regarding this ProtonVPN/linux-app#46. Honestly, it looks like a very random issue, because I remember having it after upgrading protonvpn once, but it started working a few days later.

The upstream projects have been abandoned, this is no longer applicable.
