Can't connect to ProtonVPN using CLI?

  • 772

I can't connect to ProtonVPN using its official client from pypi on my Ubuntu 20.04 but on the same WiFi and using the same DNS (8.8.8.8) and its android app I can seamlessly connect. I don't have a clue where the underlying problem might be.

The errors it gives me is as follows:

[!] There was an error connecting to the ProtonVPN API.
[!] Please make sure your connection is working properly!
networking command-line vpn network-manager

  1. If you are stuck after downgrading, it probably still reads from protonvpn config file.

    I had to change the api_domain in ~/.pvpn-cli/pvpn-cli.cfg to api_domain = https://api.protonmail.ch and now it's working.
