Hey @toxpal So to answer to some of your questions:
|
Thank you for your response, I trust in Proton again... :) |
How exactly would one go about doing this? I currently have Protonvpn configured to start on boot using Manjaro's Autostart feature, however the VPN will not automatically turn on, and must be activated manually. Is there a way to auto-activate the connection in addition to simply auto-opening the application? If not, is this feature in the works? |
Update: in Linux Mint, after adding it there ^, simply click the "modify" icon and change it to this: ... this seems to work for me! It does not run the GUI, but you are connected to the VPN (check by going to https://ip.me) and if you open the GUI it does say connected. |
I created a systemd service in user space, as @calexandru2018 mentioned. It works quite well, it waits for
To use it, just save it in I could not get it working reliably with Kill Switch enabled at first, but the solution from ProtonVPN/linux-cli#44 (comment) seems to have worked. Just insert these two lines after
Then reload the systemd daemon with |
I like your solution but I can't get it to work on my Kubuntu 20.04 system. No graphical-session.target is active, what should I do if it isn't active? I think it's more reliable to use autostart as on ProtonVPN/linux-cli#44, but I don't know. |
I updated the service to address this issue. It is now using the more generic |
I did the pull request ProtonVPN/linux-cli#55 that implements this service. You are all welcome to test it and give feedback. |
@natanjunges Thank you for this very useful script. I still have a small a problem : On Ubuntu 21.10, Is there a way to start thank you |
Hi @francoisromain,
|
I have Fedora 35 with KDE spin installed. With that script, every time I log into the desktop, KDE Wallet always asks for a password. This probably occurs because of this KDE bug. My temporary solution is replacing
I'm not expert at coding. Just wanted to share this little hack, in case someone else encounters the same problem. Please, feel free to correct and improve the code. |
Hi, thanks for the awesome script, it works, but for the killswitch, adding those lines don't seem to enable it, when i check the status with protonvpn-cli. |
So on Zorin OS 16.1 I tried this:
But the service fails to start with |
So more than 14 months have passed, I installed the app again, and.. nothing? |
Nice! And if the DE used does not allow you modify the startup command after activating it you can go to the ~/.config/autostart/protonvpn.desktop file and modify in a text editor. The systemd service above also looks good but since the pull request has not been merged I think this is the simplest solution since it's just a file in the /home folder. |
Hey, I tried this but it didn't work on Debian 11 (GNOME). Is it still working or am I missing something? I followed the instructions and played with settings a little bit to see of it changes anything, but it doesn't connect at all.. |
In my case this service unit failed because it starts before the user login, hence the vpn password is locked. My solution was to change the last line from |
Hello, |
Hey all, since our focus now lies in the new linux client we won't be issuing any updates to the current client. But rest assured that we're working on implementing a settings window for this new client. Currently we're finishing the implementation of some features that should be released soon (new client only, do note). You can find more info here: #76 |
That would be great... except that development of new client takes years (what kind of programmers are assigned to this job) without any result. Meanwhile, old client has no updates for years. |
@calexandru2018 Will the CLI be merged with the new one ? |
Just installed the app on Manjaro KDE and... well, it's completely useless because no single setting exists in the app. While Android app is great, Linux app lacks these settings:
While I like your service (migrated from Nord VPN) and your policy/transparency, I was actually shocked to see that you released Linux app which only provides a false sense of security and actually does almost nothing. But your Android app is OK, so I surely know you can do it.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
