Protonator

a ProtonVPN connect script

A shell script project to connect to ProtonVPN on basically any GNU+Linux/Unix system.

Usage

• Login to your ProtonVPN dashboard
• Take a note of your OpenVPN username and passphrase
• Download the ovpn files that you want to use
• Keep those ovpn files under "ovpns" directory
• Create a file config/cred.txt and put your OpenVPN username and passphrase in 2 individual lines. e.g.

config/cred.txt

someusername
somepassword

• Optional but recommended, encrypt your credentials. Run either one of these:
  1. No password, less security: openssl enc -pbkdf2 -salt -in config/cred.txt -out config/cred.enc -e -a && rm config/cred.txt
  2. Requires password, higher security: openssl aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -iter 25763 -salt -in config/cred.txt -out config/cred.aes -e -a && rm config/cred.txt
• Optionally you can configure it with cp config.sample.sh config/config.sh and then editing config/config.sh if needed.
• Open a terminal on this directory and run ./connect.sh
