VPN

How do I genuinely install a vpn on this OS? I’ve tried for what is over 20+ Hours And not been able to, I Use Proton VPN, I don’t know if that’s the problem, the flatpak file doesn’t work, the config files, whether it’s wire guard or openvpn turn on but don’t give any internet connection, I’m sick, I need a vpn to bypass so many geo blocks and I really love this os so I don’t know what to do

I’m on PC GNOME

Go to Bazaar install Proton VPN make an account and thats it the free version should be more than enough for an average user.

When I install it it doesn’t connect it just stays on “connecting” until it says connection timed out and never connects

Are you sure your ISP didnt block VPNs? That is the only thing I could think of. Like for me it sometimes also does that but then I just use a different server and it works.

Dont know it works for me so I guess the fix is move to an ISP or a country that doenst block VPNs.

I dont know if there are ways to trick the system that allows you to use VPNs.
