I can have a vpn protected browser window, and simultaneous browser window without any vpn. I use firejail abilities for managing “network name spaces” to do such a thing (create a network name space that does not know about the vpn, just for this browser session. – I can open a without-vpn-session on muy browser with “Shift+F6” (instead of only F6 to a normal, vpn protected session). – I can switch vpn on or off by a “Ctrl+Shift+W” or “Ctrl+Shift+X” shortcut – my system is connected through proton vpn server automatically at startup (just with openvpn service, no customization here) I use openvpn to connect to proton vpn servers. Thanks for pointing this python openvpn-cli out.
If anyone is interested in learning more you can leave a message here and I’ll be happy to give more advanced stuff. There’s more you can do, especially if you want to combine it with randomizing your mac address via the macchanger command, but that gets pretty esoteric. What that says is “tell protonvpn config to choose options 4 & 1 for enabling the DNS leak protection”, and then “tell protonvpn config to choose options 5 & 1 to enable the kill switch”, and then “connect to the fastest local server”, and then “tell bash to sleep for 6 seconds while protonvpn connects”, and then “check the status of the vpn connection and print it to the terminal for me”. For example, check out this alias which uses printf and pipes to automatically configure and connect protonvpn for me:Īlias pvfc='printf "4\n1\n" | pvc & printf "5\n1\n" | pvc & pvf & sleep 6 & pvs' For example, I have bash aliases for the connecting to the fastest local server (“pvf”), for specific local servers (ie, “pvf12” for server #12 in my area), for the fastest server in my favorite foreign country, for making config changes (“pvc”), and for checking the status (“pvs”) and for disconnecting from the service (“pvd”).Īnd then I combine aliases in crazy ways.
I get really tired of typing in all the long commands, so I make lots of bash aliases for it. I had not even tried it on 32-bit, it’s good to see that it works there. Yeah, this is pretty much how I do it on antiX 64 bit. $ sudo apt install -y openvpn dialog python3-pip python3-setuptools
Luckily, some people have made a python application that works like protonvpn-cli. protonvpn-cli, which can choose the fastest server, depends on systemd. This is not ideal since you have to pick a server without knowing if it is busy. I have been connecting to protonvpn by ovpn config files.
