The Package ProtonVPN-gui that I installed with Yast doesn't work with openSUSE LEAP: I made a support request with ProtonVPN and they replied that ProtonVPN doesn't support openSUSE at all. The following is my original request with bug description: I'm using openSUSE Leap 15.6 with NetworkManager and I want to try the free version of ProtonVPN, so I installed it via the YaST SoftwareManagement, which is the usual way on openSUSE. This is the Proton VPN GUI-Client that was installed: Proton VPN: v1.12.0 (library: v3.7.0 / api-client: v0.7.1) However, I can't get it working, since the client demands credentials that I don't seem to have. In more detail this is what happens: I log into the client with my Proton Account. Then I try to connect to some server in the Netherlands. Then I have to enter my root password and afterwards my secrets (I assumed this is the OpenVPN / IKEv2 username/ password, I have also tried the Proton Account password). This is the text of the dialog: Title: "VPN secrets (openvpn) dialog - KDE Daemon" Text = "Authenticate ProtonVPN NL-FREE#299142 - Provide the secrets for the VPN connection 'ProtonVPN NL-FREE#299142': - A password is required:" Whatever I enter here, nothing works, the same dialog keeps popping up. I don't know password I need here other then the ones mentioned above. Moreover, when I shut ProtonVPN down, my internet isn't working anymore and - as I found out - DNS was missing, so I always have to delete the file that is created in the folder "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections" and reboot.
