ProtonVPN on UT24.04-1.2

[nogoogle]

Was anyone successful in establishing a ProtonVPN connection on Noble?

I tried manual setup via GUI but it was not clear to me how the parameters in the openvpn file map to the fields in the VPN settings, went through documentation and forum posts with no clear solution.

Next, I tried the nmcli import method as described here: (https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10154/vpn-import-openvpn-and-wireguard-configurations-using-networkmanager-nmcli?_=1772844580125&loggedin=true)

The connection is listed, I entered username and password via settings GUI but when activating it, the connection timed out.

I would be very grateful if someone who has a working ProtonVPN setup could share how this was achieved.

Thanks

You can try Wireguard. It doesn't have GUI yet in UT but the commands are simple.

Download the Wireguard config file from your Proton account. Rename it to wg0.conf.
Then run

nmcli conn import type wireguard file wg0.conf

To connect:

nmcli conn up wg0

To disconnect:

nmcli conn down wg0

@projectmoon I believe that doesn't use the same wireguard that's in the system. I've never tried myself since the built in one works fine. I don't use it often

Doesn't use NetworkManager's WireGuard, no. But it does work. Tested it this morning with 2 ProtonVPN profiles.
