Can’t install Proton VPN and Mail

VPN
1

Hi,

I can’t install Proton VPN on Asahi Linux ( MacBook Air.)

I followed the instructions from Proton.

Here’s the error message I get in the Terminal

HTTP ERROR response 404 [https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-Remix-stable/protonvprotonvpn-stable-rel 100% [=============================>] 102 --.-KB/s

Is it possible to install Proton VPN on Linux ARM? I get the same type of error when trying to install Proton Mail, like the package doesn’t exist.

Thanks for your help.

404 means not found. You have the wrong URL for the repo. This is because Asahi is not a standard Fedora distribution so the command in their installer sets the version as “Remix” rather than 41

Try using this:

wget “https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-41-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.2-1.noarch.rpm”

I used this link to download the rpm file.

  1. this is protonvpn command line version not the GUI

  2. dnf installation did not automatically obtain the OpenPGP keys, but they were installed during a dnf update

This is only an updated command for step 1 in the instructions. You still need to follow the rest of the process (also I have no idea if proton even supports ARM64)…

I contacted Proton support, and since it’s not a “normal” Fedora distro, they can’t or won’t help. They could have at least answer that question : Does Proton work on ARM64? But I think it does.
