Not OP, but the lack of Linux support is my biggest issue with them.

Fuck. Really? I’m seriously considering switching to Proton but I’m also in the middle of moving to Linux and that’s not negotiable. Shit I took Linux support for granted.

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 server connections 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? :(

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.
