Trouble downloading ProtonVPN

VPN
1

I’m trying to download from these instructions

I downloaded Proton VPN DEB package.

When I type in:

echo “c68a0b8dad58ab75080eed7cb989e5634fc88fca051703139c025352a6ee19ad protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3-2_all.deb” | sha256sum --check -

It reads:

echo “c68a0b8dad58ab75080eed7cb989e5634fc88fca051703139c025352a6ee19ad protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3-2_all.deb” | sha256sum --check -

sha256sum: protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3-2_all.deb: No such file or directory

protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3-2_all.deb: FAILED open or read

sha256sum: WARNING: 1 listed file could not be read

How do I get around this?

protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3-2_all.deb: No such file or directory

The file you downloaded either has a different file name or you are not in the directory where the file is stored when you execute the command. These are the two possibilities that come to my mind spontaneously.

I will mention that ProtonVPN can work with the default OpenVPN clients on most distribution.

But you don’t get the extra proton VPN client features. (kill switch, and a few other things)

tip: use the TAB key to auto complete complex file names, if it cant auto complete, then you know the path or CWD is wrong.

If you use ProtonVPN with OpenVPN, make sure to check for DNS leaks. I discovered recently that I had such a leak, but it can be solved by adding a few lines to the .ovpn files:

script-security 2
up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf

as described in: OpenVPN - ArchWiki

This necessitates that you have an update-resolv-conf script, which you should have already if you’ve followed ProtonVPN’s instructions for setting up a connection with OpenVPN.
