Re: [Trisquel-users] ProtonVPN command line tool

This seems like a really neat solution, thanks. I really like the look of  
Guix as well. Glad I do not have to give up on protonVPN just yet.

The method in that thread still works, I just did it about a week ago. I  
prefer the protonvpn-cli package though, as it gives greater control over  
preventing DNS leaks.


On the github page there are some instructions for installing protonvpn-cli  
using guix: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli/blob/master/README.md


Maybe you could try installing the guix package manager per chaosmonk's  
instructions here:

And then
guix install protonvpn-cli

[Trisquel-users] ProtonVPN command line tool

[issybarrett-lally]

I cannot install this tool because pip is blocked on Trisquel because of the  
access it gives to not free software. I have managed to curl pip, which  
allowed me to install OpenVPN but not as root. Does anyone know if there is a  
workaround? Would it be possible to just make the python code required for  
this tool? Apologies if there is already a thread on this.
