The CLI isn’t supported for the last version of the client for Proton VPN on Linux.

Please consider installing our native client: https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup or a manual configuration if you’re on an unsupported distro: https://protonvpn.com/support/wireguard-linux

what are the reasons for stopping the support?

We released a new completely written version of the native client last year, with which the old CLI is no longer compatible. See this comment (and entire thread) for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1ftn22s/comment/lptgnmi/
