It requires escalated privileges and might be somehow unstable.

The ProtonVPN GUI is currently still an experimental interface.

This way, you will be able to use the latest version of the CLI, while also being able to use the GUI. All local configurations are managed by the GUI (such as updating protocol, split tunneling, manage killswitch) while the connections are managed by the CLI. The linux-gui works on top of linux-cli, making it a dependency. Linux GUI for ProtonVPN, written in Python.
