DescriptionGTK graphical client for Proton VPN

The ProtonVPN GTK App repository is an official ProtonVPN desktop application for Linux, developed using the GTK (GIMP Toolkit) library for a graphical user interface.

Connect to specific servers by country or server. - User-friendly GUI: Built with GTK, integrates with Linux desktops (GNOME, KDE). Shows connection status, IP address, server country, and uptime. - Profile Management: Create and manage connection profiles for servers/configurations. - Advanced Settings: Kill Switch: Blocks internet if VPN drops. Custom DNS: Set custom DNS servers. - Smart Protocol: Auto-selects best VPN protocol (OpenVPN, WireGuard). - System Notifications: Desktop alerts for connection status, disconnections, or errors. - Multi-protocol Support: Supports protocols like OpenVPN, WireGuard, and IKEv2. - ProtonVPN Account Integration: Log in with your ProtonVPN account to access premium servers and manage settings. - Tray Icon (System Tray): Quick access from the system tray to connect/disconnect and adjust settings.
