Hey everyone! I just did a fresh installation of Linux Mint 22.1 (Cinnamon) and I'm facing some issues while trying to set up ProtonVPN. When I attempt to add the ProtonVPN repository, I run into an SSL error that says 'Unable to establish SSL connection.' I couldn't find a direct .deb download link on their site either. Just to note, I'm connecting from Russia, which might be relevant.
Here's what I've tried so far:
- Ran `sudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall ca-certificates`
- Used `wget --no-check-certificate [URL]`, but I know that's not secure
- Double-checked to ensure my system time and date are correct
My system details are as follows:
- Linux Mint 22.1 (64-bit)
- Kernel: 6.8.0-51-generic
- Network is a wired connection
Has anyone had success installing ProtonVPN on Linux Mint 22.1? How do I properly fix this SSL issue? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

If you're having SSL issues, you could consider using the browser extension for ProtonVPN instead. It's a quick workaround while you sort out the installation problems. Just make sure your browser's secure enough!
You might want to check out the ProtonVPN section on the ArchWiki. They have a lot of info that should work across different Linux distros, including Linux Mint. It's a good resource for installation steps!
Just to note, since you're connecting from Russia, there might be some additional restrictions affecting your connection to ProtonVPN. It's worth checking if that's causing the SSL connection error.
