So I use Windscribe VPN. I migrated from Ubuntu before this, and it was fairly straight forward. There was a .deb file, and there you go.
There was even a package for it in AUR, so I figured I was set. Downloaded it, tried to login… but I get this (as seen below).
I’m not exactly sure what gives, here.
from the command line, type the folllowing:
sudo systemctl start windscribe, then,
windscribe login, then,
windscribe connect
If your provider offers openvpn config files, I would highly recommend using those to connect through network-manager rather than using a desktop client if you are concerned about security/privacy.
It was worth a shot, but no such luck, sadly. Still got this:

2019-01-12 20:55:15,580 [INFO] No session found

Yep, and once you logged in, your password will be stored and you won’t need that step in the future.
Also use windscribe disconnect to turn the VPN off.
