How to install ProtonVPN in Arch Linux (CachyOS) ?

Should I follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ProtonVPN ?

OR

from flathub https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www ?

This flatpak has Unverified tag, but according to this, this flatpak is safe.

Which one should I follow ?

Asking this because I'm because I'm a bit lazy to configure OpenVPN and all that stuff. (pls don't kill me :)

I used OpenVPN via the kde plasma settings app.

You mean you downloaded all the OpenVPN profiles by Proton and imported it to settings?

Yeah, compared to the desktop apps it sucks. But it’ll get the job done.

I guess by doing this way we can't tell which server has less load just by looking it, right?

Yeah and, for example, I believe the ios app switches to less busy servers automatically by default.

It’s got its downsides but I’m willing to live with this cuz im a bit paranoid and don’t wanna use non-official flatpaks 😂

Makes sense, especially for something as important as VPN.

Thank you.
