Is it normal I need to turn off my VPN to download apps from either of those? This is an example of the error I get. If I turn VPN off it downloads fine. Downloading from Fedora repo works fine.

Don’t know which VPN you use. I use NordVPN and I can just use it, no problems here.
I use ProtonVPN
Sorry, I have no experiences with ProtonVPN so I can’t help you any further.
Searches on internet only gave me that I can get the protonvpn flatpak on flathub, nothing about flathub not bin reachable with the vpn switched on.
Can you download packages from flathub when using the packagemanager in your distro?
Works fine here.

Hi, I am also using proton VPN and I asked them why do Proton’s flatpak apps are not signed in flathub and they explained to me that flathub Proton apps cannot function properly, because they are placed in a restricted container and app cannot get required permissions and that it is just like an experiment to them. They recommend to install apps at the moment directly. For a VPN you can follow this link:
https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-fedora
Don’t use “System tray icon (optional)” unless your using gnome-shell, it requires gnome-shell.
Naa, it works perfectly fine for me with KDE
Yes, she is using KDE
Do not run this code:
sudo dnf install libappindicator-gtk3 gnome-shell-extension-appindicator gnome-extensions-app
Hmm, what is this urge I am feeling to run it?? xD
Have a look how Proton VPN is installed.
Installed as system, you might have access issues as mentioned.
flatpak list |grep Proton
Proton VPN com.protonvpn.www 4.16.2 stable flathub user
If you use the free proton vpn it can also be that you get blocked from some systems. They believe everyone who uses the free version is a malicious person.
It’s not that I cannot install protonvpn from flatpak/flathub. It’s that I cannot install anything else from flatpak/flathub while protonvpn is running.
I am also using the paid version.
I understood perfectly. Can you run the command I posted?
Look if you have the same version?
neth@fedora:~$ flatpak list |grep Proton
ProtonPlus com.vysp3r.ProtonPlus 0.5.20 stable system
Proton Mail me.proton.Mail 1.13.0 stable system
ProtonVPN is installed with file from proton website as it is missing features if not. The big one being Split Tunneling.
Yes, there is no split tunnelling feature in fedora’s version.
But as I understand now, you never used ProtonVPN app from the Flathub?
You installed it to the system?
If you would run
rpm -qa | grep proton
You should have these programs inside your system?
python3-proton-vpn-local-agent-1.6.2-1.fc44.x86_64
python3-proton-core-0.7.4-1.fc44.noarch
python3-proton-vpn-api-core-5.2.3-1.fc44.noarch
proton-vpn-daemon-0.13.7-1.fc44.noarch
proton-vpn-gtk-app-4.16.4-1.fc44.noarch
python3-proton-keyring-linux-0.2.1-1.fc44.noarch
proton-vpn-gnome-desktop-0.10.1-1.fc44.noarch
protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.4-1.noarch
if so, then I would try to contact proton company and ask them about the problem directly. It might be something specific about KDE.
This was an issue with the version installed from flathub too. It seems to be most servers, not all. Seems to maybe be flathub blocking ProtonVPN but I cannot know
neth@fedora:~$ rpm -qa | grep proton
proton-authenticator-1.1.5-1.x86_64
protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.4-1.noarch
python3-proton-vpn-local-agent-1.6.2-1.fc44.x86_64

python3-proton-vpn-api-core-5.2.3-1.fc44.noarch
proton-vpn-gtk-app-4.16.4-1.fc44.noarch
That is what I said above.
So, system updates also do not work?
Try to ask them directly and post to us what they will reply.
Protonvpn Support
You might have to install it as user. Yours is installed as system.
Good idea watch with the support of them.
