So it's not just networkmanager that's required, but also network-manager-applet (of which networkmanager is a dependency): see e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=246698
Without this, you'd have to activate each interface manually using nmcli connection up --ask
, so it's not usable in this way.
So please add network-manager-applet as a dependency so that users don't waste their time on useless searches and have the maximum chance of getting working software out of the box. Thanks! :)

I've added
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent-bin
as optional dependency, I worked onhttps://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent
a bit to build it from source, but I have a weird issue with it so I'm not depending this package on that by default for now.For those who know a bit about rust packaging, the issue with building from source for me is: - If I copy the build
so
file usingcp
command it works fine - If I package it (usinginstall
in PKGBUILD) and put the file there by installing the package using pacman, It doesn't work! although the files have the same checksum.I have no idea why is that and am open to any help on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent package

@shoryuken thank you, that worked!
@ali.molaei I'm not sure of technicalities of dependencies, but if you cannot force
network-manager-applet
as a dependency I think you should at least pin some comment explaining that getting it might fix issues. As it stands I accidentally found the solution at other package page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonvpn-cli#comment-951908, and only since it's the newest one.
