Can opensuse 15.4 support protonvpn? Not a third party add on, but official support.

Yes, just as the current Leap version supports OpenVPN connectivity via NetworkManager. Read posts #13 and #17 again.

[lord_valarian]

Yes, I finally got the openvpn connection to work. I did a 'dns leak test' on the web. It showed my location as out of state.


'protonvpn c -f' finds the fastest server and connects to it.

Since protonvpn won't support opensuse 15.3 GUI, A GUI that supports this functionality. So far none presented are fully supported. The last one is missing a library to use it. That library requires another linux distro.


I'm asking for opensuse 15.4 (or 15.3) to support this functionality. ?

It would take me long time to understand and make it in bash. I'm already into other projects.

I have no idea about any third party GUI, but have you tried using NetworkManager for managing the OpenVPN connectivity?

If you look back over the messages, there several links to third party GUI's. They all don't work for various reasons.

It works, but only one connection at a time. You have look at protonmail vpn list. Then, pick the lowest load server. Then add it to the connection list. --- The old cli 'protonvpn c -f' does this for you. --- So if your connection gets too high a load, you need go back on protonvpn list and find another server. Then, set it up again. Repeating this process again and again with every new server you add.

An officially support gui for opensuse...

I get that...you need to direct your request to ProtonVPN regarding support.

Ok, then be pragmatic and use the CLI.

I am not sure what "official" means here. Supported by vendor? Contact ProtonVPN, request them to provide and maintain package for openSUSE. Support by "openSUSE"? Nobody stops you from packaging this application for openSUSE. You do not need to start from scratch, start with existing projects and fix whatever problems are there.

The CLI 'protonvpn --help' is no longer supported.

I've send many messages to protonvpn. They will not be supporting opensuse now or in the future.

Linux bash i'm a master at code, however, that will take a very long time and i'm already full with other projects.

Networking i'm only novice skill. I still can't get my wifi router to work, weeks later I figure out it's might be broke.

I still can't compile clamav from the C source code. I had to give up on 'scanvirus' C code version. Modifying a C code source that includes networking is far outside my skill set.

'Officially' means someone else in the community doing the work. I'm making a request for someone else to take up the challenge.
