How to install ProtonVPN in Arch Linux (CachyOS) ?

Should I follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ProtonVPN ?

from flathub https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www ?

This flatpak has Unverified tag, but according to this, this flatpak is safe.

Which one should I follow ?

Asking this because I'm because I'm a bit lazy to configure OpenVPN and all that stuff. (pls don't kill me :)

Also do you think using VPN from flatpak is a good idea?

Solved

I just installed aur mentioned in the wiki and it worked just fine. Didn't need to install anything else in my case.

So i don't have do step 1.1 and 1.2 ? Directly install aur package mentioned in 1.3?

Referring this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ProtonVPN

If I'm reading that correctly, yeah all you should need to do is install the AUR package. 1.1-1.3 in that section are different options that don't depend on each other.

1.1-1.3 in that section are different options that don't depend on each other.

I think that particular page needs to be bit more concise.

Thank You.

It's common for arch wiki pages to give multiple options for software to install.

I mean it's never mentioned anywhere that they are multiple options. It's just say 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3, so I got confused. Maybe it's because I'm new to Arch.
