Can you tell whether it is a problem with wget, or with that site?

For example:

  1. Does wget http://en.wikipedia.org work correctly?
  2. What happens if you try to download that .rpm file using a browser?

thx for the quick reply.

Same thing for me, but it works when I use it:

wget "https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-42-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm"

You can change the “fedora-42-stable” part in the link above to the version you use.

I do use fedora42

Try the flathub version. Worked better for me.

I’m sorry but I’m new. Where to get the flathub version
edit: i think i found it.
this is it right? Install Proton VPN on Linux | Flathub

If you have Gnome you should find it in the software app. As far as you activated the flat-hub repository. You can check that clicking on the hamburger menu.

Sup. I think they might be missing fedora 40 package since it’s outdated, also for the new fedora 42
when I ran, it worked
wget “https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-41-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm”

flatpak version is not an official one, so it might not work all the time.
in my might case, sometimes I just can’t connect to any servers
