I’m using proton bridge on debian…
Downloading a .deb file is admittedly not ideal and not “the debian way” but it works
Their VPN services should be accessible by any linux client (but i’ve not tried yet)

Thanks for the info. I see they have an RPM version, too. I hope works on OpenSUSE.

The Linux client isn’t perfect, but you can download the openVPN config file and set up individual servers yourself. It’s all laid out on their website, fairly simple. If you know what you’re doing, you can also edit the config files to allow IP-based split tunneling.

I tried their OpenVPN config files but I always get IP leaks. Any idea on how to fix that? :(

I believe there’s a way to do it using iptables, but I’d have to look into it more again. You might get more experienced people answering if you search for “openVPN force traffic through VPN iptables” or something similar. Let me know if that helps!

Turns out the problem is that Proton does not support IPV6, at least via OpenVPN and/or WireGuard. Disabling ipv6 fixes the problem, though I don’t really enjoy that solution :|

Ah, well the VPN client I config in my router so as long as Proton uses OpenVPN or WireGuard I should be able to get it to work, even though I barely know what I’m doing. Converting settings files manually to settings in pfSense is doable.

I can’t speak about pfsense or router-based configs, I have zero experience there. The Proton website does have openVPN and wire guard manual setup instructions though. You could try it with a free account first to make sure everything works before committing to paying for it. If you’re interested, I can show you the changes I made to the openVPN config file to allow split tunneling. Again though, I don’t know how that translates to pfsense.

Good to hear they have manuals for both OpenVPN and WireGuard. Thanks for the info. And thanks for offering to show me split tunneling, but I don’t think that’s necessary at the moment. But it’s great to know there’s a way to set it up like that, I’ll keep that in mind if I need it in the future.
