⚠️ This module is now legacy: The same functionality is now in proton-vpn-network-manager module, version 0.6.3 and upwards.

Proton VPN Network Manager OpenVPN

The proton-vpn-network-manager-openvpn component adds support for the OpenVPN protocol using NetworkManager.

Development

Even though our CI pipelines always test and build releases using Linux distribution packages, you can use pip to set up your development environment.

Proton package registry

If you didn't do it yet, to be able to pip install Proton VPN components you'll need to set up our internal Python package registry. You can do so running the command below, after replacing {GITLAB_TOKEN} with your personal access token with the scope set to api.

pip config set global.index-url https://__token__:{GITLAB_TOKEN}@gitlab.protontech.ch/api/v4/groups/777/-/packages/pypi/simple

In the index URL above, 777 is the id of the current root GitLab group, the one containing the repositories of all our Proton VPN components.

Known issues

This component depends on proton-vpn-network-manager which, unfortunately, it currently requires installing quite a few distribution packages. If you didn't install them yet, head over to this component's readme file for more details.

Virtual environment

You can create the virtual environment and install the rest of dependencies as follows:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Unit tests

You can run the unit tests with:

pytest tests

Integration tests

You can run the integration tests with:
