Could you specify your kernel version and NM ?

is there with nmcli c s and with sudo nmcli c s

both of them are down.

With sudo nmcli c up [protonvpn connection] --ask I can actually get that vpn connection to work but it doesn't show on the default users NetworkManager. ip address does indeed change and when using sudo nmcli I can see

After bringing the interface up via root I get this from protonvpn-cli s

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/protonvpn-cli", line 33, in <module> sys.exit(load_entry_point('protonvpn-cli==3.3.1', 'console_scripts', 'protonvpn-cli')()) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/main.py", line 21, in main ProtonVPNCLI() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/cli.py", line 46, in __init__ getattr(self, args.command)() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/cli.py", line 148, in s self.status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/cli.py", line 152, in status self.cli_wrapper.status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/cli_wrapper.py", line 251, in status conn_status = self.connection_manager.display_connection_status() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/protonvpn_nm_lib/services/connection_manager.py", line 341, in display_connection_status connection_exists = self.get_proton_connection(from_connections) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/protonvpn_nm_lib/services/connection_manager.py", line 515, in get_proton_connection vpn_settings.get_data_item("dev") AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_data_item'

It returns to normal when I bring the interface down

`protonvpn-cli s

No active ProtonVPN connection. `

I can confirm that this issue also exists on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, with both ProtonVPN CLI v3.3.1 (protonvpn-nm-lib v0.4.2; proton-client v0.3.0) and the previous version from last week. I first noticed the issue late last week.

BUT

I am able to connect to the VPN via the Ubuntu UI settings menu. It is the command line that is throwing the error.

absolutez3 commented 3 years ago

@jenb82 are you referring to using the openvpn config files?

jenb82 commented 3 years ago

@absolutez3 I don't think so, can you clarify? I'm getting the same error message as you when I run protonvpn-cli c -f, but I don't get it when I use the Ubuntu Settings > Network > VPN UI. I'm not sure how that menu works under the hood.

absolutez3 commented 3 years ago

My question is if you are somehow having a protonvpn gui on your box? Or are you just bringing the protonvpn connection up from NetworkManager? @jenb82

jenb82 commented 3 years ago

Oh, sorry, no special Proton gui, just NetworkManager. I typically use the terminal to connect.

jenb82 commented 3 years ago

@absolutez3 Update! I have two user accounts on my machine (primary + secondary), and have accessed the same ProtonVPN account from both. Using the VPN on the secondary Linux user account seems to have caused the issue.

I completely wiped the OpenVPN data for the secondary user account, and I am no longer receiving the protonvpn-cli c error on my primary user account. Everything is now working properly on my primary user account

I guessing the bug happens because Proton decides that the secondary user 'owns' the OpenVPN session, or something?

I hope this helps!

absolutez3 commented 3 years ago

@jenb82 I deleted all connections on NetworkManager with my user account and then any left over with sudo. It now works!

Hopefully they can improve protonvpn-cli so it realizes when that is happening and fixes it!

@absolutez3 I am still getting this error in newly installed ProtonVPN. Can you please elaborate how you managed to get it working again?
