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.

I'm on cachyos Wayland (hyprland) and none of the GUI options worked for me, including the flatpak. The AUR protonvon-cli-community worked out of the box though.

paru -S protonvpn-cli-community

protonvpn --help

Thank You.

Is it because of hyprland in any case? I'm using plasma though, so I have to try myself it seems.

Also, It's just that I prefer more of a GUI way. (Doesn't mean I hate terminal or anything)

I don't know why it didn't work. I just tried all the options until something worked and didn't care enough to try to fix the options which didn't work.
