I am sure the credentials are correct. I used my normal ProtonVPN login and the OpenVPN / IKEv2 credentials. Both didn't work.

Here is the command I used: 

docker run -d --device=/dev/net/tun --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 8888:8080 -e PVPN_USERNAME=user -e PVPN_PASSWORD=pass --name proton-privoxy walt3rl/proton-privoxy

Same issue on my side. Tried to run protonvpn init but it did not fix the issue.

Make sure you've read this: https://github.com/walterl/proton-privoxy/issues/44

I just had this exact issue, because I misunderstood the docs. You can find the credentials you're supposed to give under the "Account" tab in your ProtonVPN dashboard.

On my side, it was a DNS issue from inside my docker. Solved.
