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.
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.
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.
Repeating, protonvpn 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.
I setup one vpn server. On every boot, it requires the admin password then the kwallet password. Each new server would require disconnecting and entering both passwords again.
I’ve added the repo and refreshed it via yast. But when searching for proton-gui in yast, three other repos show up but not the new one. I assume I’m missing a step.
Through networking manager, I was able to get a secure vpn connection. I used the ‘whatsmyip’ website to verify this.
Using tor onion to login to proton mail. Then get the vpn list. Find the lowest usage vpn. copy the username and password. Logout of protomail - tor browser.
Using Configure network connections within networking manager, use the add vpn file option. Following the prompts to add user name and password. Then delete data from clipboard. Exit networking manager. Click on the icon and enter the passwords. Rebooting sometimes required.
Thanks to all for the help.
Now, I have to enter two passwords on every boot, but that issue i’ll save for another day.
Also - Deano - do you know if there’s a protonmail app for OpenSuSE hidden in some obscure repository? (there seem to be many of these - like the ham radio repo rotfl! )
Thank you! It’s often hit-or-miss with these newer or ‘unusual’ packages.
I downloaded both electronmail and the protonmail bridge. Electron was
missing a dependency, although I verified in YaST that libXtxt6is installed.
So it’s probably a ‘version number’ on the .so that’s wrong. So I guess I’ll
install it anyway (choosing to ‘break it’) then deal with the version number
issue if I can.

…so was protonmail bridge, but it was only missing a font, so I opted to “break”
it by ignoring this dependency. I’ll see if it works with Thunderbird.
BTW - do you know where the command-line utility “alien” went? Once upon a time, I had used this to convert Debian .deb’s to
Opensuse .rpm’s that actually worked.
