protonvpn-cli is the community Linux command line tool for connecting to
the ProtonVPN. It is a full rewrite of the original bash protonvpn-cli
in Python, which adds more features and functionality with the purpose
of improving readability, speed, and reliability.
Before using protonvpn-cli, it must be initialized. Run (as root)
protonvpn init
and follow the prompts on the screen. Your OpenVPN username and password
can be found at https://account.protonvpn.com/account. Note that both
free and paid accounts are supported.
After protonvpn-cli is configured, run (as root)
protonvpn connect -f
to connect to ProtonVPN using the fastest available server.
Before uninstalling, run
protonvpn configure
to purge the configuration files.
