<h3 align="center">A Linux CLI for ProtonVPN. Written in Python.</h3>

ProtonVPN-CLI is a full rewrite of the [bash protonvpn-cli](https://github.com/ProtonVPN/protonvpn-cli/blob/master/protonvpn-cli.sh) in Python, which adds more features and functionality with the purpose of improving readability, speed and reliability.

## Important information
The [official ProtonVPN Linux](https://protonvpn.com/blog/protonvpn-linux-app/) app is available for Debian 10, Ubuntu 20+, Mint 19+, MX Linux 19+, Fedora 31+ and Archlinux / Manjaro. Where possible, we recommend that you [upgrade to the official app](https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup/).
The community Linux client described below remains available for those who need it.
