Can not connect #242

Mind you, from Windows I have no such problem, only in Linux and this began recently.

In accrodance with this line you have no access to api.protonvpn.ch endpoint. Please, try to ping it typing ping api.protonvpn.ch in your terminal/console. I'm afraid it has been blocked in Russia recently (in case this's your location of course).

I'm located in Russia and I also have the same issue. No ping to api.protonvpn.ch.

I used to use AUR's version of protonvpn-cli - protonvpn-cli-ng then switched to the "official" pip version from the documentation and everywhere the result was the same.

Now I'm just log in and downloading ovpn configuration profiles from protonvpn's website and executing it in the terminal: sudo openvpn some-another-profile.protonvpn.com.udp.ovpn

Any suggestions on how I can get the cli working in Russia, maybe you can set up alternative domains/IPs?

Edit: hey, why I can still connect from my Windows machine with the protonvpn application?!

Edit2: the ping points the api.protonvpn.ch to 3.127.229.68. But when I connect to a remote server (Finland in my case) it points to another IP 185.159.159.170

The reason why it is working in window is because windows has implemented alternative routing.

The Linux clients are atm being rewriten, which will allow to (later) also implement alternative routing, thus bypassing such blocks as you're experiencing.

Hello, Nikolay! You are absolutely correct, there is an access problem - if I'm ping from host (windows Powershell) ping returning to me ping api.protonvpn.ch Pinging api.protonvpn.ch [3.127.229.68] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Ping statistics for 3.127.229.68: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss), (pinging without VPN) What is possible here??

С Уважением, Кузьменков Кирилл
