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 :)

Also do you think using VPN from flatpak is a good idea?

Solved

I just installed aur mentioned in the wiki and it worked just fine. Didn’t need to install anything else in my case.

    Reminder that proton doesn’t give a shit about linux support (for any of their products) and you will be better served in the long run supporting a company who supports you. Not one who uses privacywashing as a sales tactic but is perfectly okay ensuring their products only work (full feature support) on corporate spyware OSes. This creates yet another barrier keeping their customers on w1ndows/mac which completely defeats the purpose of using proton services if your OS is sending everything to gemini anyways.
