KDE linux issue with VPN

VPN
1

Hi,

​

I am constantly getting error like it is on picture when trying to connect via GUI app

​

How to fix that ? → on Proton site, it is stated that we shouldn’t use other credentials like username or password other than our main account and pass.

I would guess it want the OpenVPN password there. But otherwise I don’t know how to bypass this.

This is probably not the way to go, but I worked around this by installing and running nm-applet before trying to connect to a server.

This used to happen to me when I used the GUI app.

If I turned off my pc while I was connected to the VPN I would get that prompt next time I would boot and try to connect to the VPN again. The way I would solve this is, either disconneting the vpn before shutting down my pc or running protonvpn-cli d when I boot my computer before trying to connect to ProtonVPN again.

yes, I dont know also. Why I can not just use my Proton password

The new official Linux and macOS clients use your regular Proton credentials.

I solved it by entering openvpn password. But dont know is it correct or not

That’s from 23 hours ago.

I’m guessing something broke and that’s how you work around it.
