Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here knows if it’s possible to set up Proton VPN with CLI on my Raspberry Pi 3B which is running raspbian OS (no graphical interface).
Essentially I have a server, which I access with tailscales sometimes in case that could cause any interference (it doesn’t with the other computers), and I want it to connect to a specific ProtonVPN server with P2P at all times. Is there a way for me to do this? On the official website there isn’t much info on whether that is possible or not.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Would OpenVPN work?
Proton VPN does not officially support Raspberry Pi, but you can try to set up their CLI version. https://raspberrytips.com/protonvpn-on-raspberry-pi/ I tried doing this a while back but it hung on the login step. I reached out to Proton and their only response was that Raspberry Pi is not supported. So, best of luck and I hope you can get it to work!
says I need a raspi 4, I’ll try openvpn first I think
If you give the lightweight os DietPi a shot, Proton VPN works via their DietPi-VPN tool right off the bat. You just need the IKEv2 username/password combo from your Proton VPN settings. It will always connect to the same server you specify in the settings as well. I believe OpenVPN should work the same but can’t confirm. I’d definitely recommend DietPi if you’re looking to self-host any services - especially on a 3B. It’s super lightweight and has a tonne of graphical config tools that makes setup a piece of cake.
I can’t install any other OS on it right now so I’ll try openvpn
I can’t recommend the official (or community) cli. Best would be to use wireguard or openvpn. In a docker setup, try gluetun
WireGuard also definitely works!
