How to install ProtonVPN in Arch Linux (CachyOS) ?

Should I follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ProtonVPN ?

OR

from flathub https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www ?

This flatpak has Unverified tag, but according to this, this flatpak is safe.

Which one should I follow ?

Asking this because I’m because I’m a bit lazy to configure OpenVPN and all that stuff. (pls don’t kill me :)

Also do you think using VPN from flatpak is a good idea?

    You could also just grab a wire guard configuration and use it too. They provide them along side the openvpn configs

      This is what I do. I can control it through nm-applet and have Proton, PIA, and my work VPN all set up as profiles.

            I just use whichever server has less load.

            I don’t know if the OpenVPN profiles are synonymous to the list of VPN Servers i.e. a single profile means a single server. If that’s the case I need all of the profiles right? to select whichever one has less load?

      Thank you. It’s just that I prefer more of a GUI way. (Doesn’t mean I hate terminal or anything)
