Title: [SOLVED] Protonvpn
Post by: Ahahziah77 on 16 January 2021, 16:44:04
Trying to install protonvpn. I think where im running into an issue is with openresolv??? Im having trouble finding information for it related to artix.....and what I can find for arch appears to relate to the systemd resolve. Just curious if anyone using artix has used protonvpn and may have any helpful information. Thank you

can you provide more info? no idea what you try or what really not works  ;) 

better describe your problem with links to AUR packages that do not work for you.

Thank you for your reply though.

In this case you should read wiki and learn how to (archlinux/artixlinux is distribution for advanced user) or not use programs outside official repos  ;)  8)

About AUR: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_and_upgrading_packages

You can simpler install a pacman wrapper, which enable you install packages from AUR like trizen (pacman -S trizen) and use trizen for installing AUR packages.

If you want not learn new things  will be impossible use archlinux /artixlinux because this distributions contains intentionally no clicking gui program for setting.

PKGBUILD of protonvpn is in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org

Yes, im not entirely new to linux, just arch. And I went the route of using git clone and makepkg -si command to install. I installed artix to learn more and go more in depth with linux. And I like the command line and is what id rather learn
