Anybody have success using Proton VPN?

[dannylevenson]

I am trying to use transmission-openvpn on my Synology DS920+ using Proton VPN. I had been using Hide My Ass (HMA) successfully for a while, but recently it started failing with an AUTH_FAILED message at the end. I can still connect from my Mac to HMA using the same credentials, so HMA has changed something to prevent the OpenVPN connection. I realized that I have access to Proton VPN via the subscription level that I have, so I've tried connecting to it using the following script to launch the docker container:

#!/bin/bash
docker run -it --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
  -p 9091:9091 \
  -e LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/16 \
  -e OPENVPN_PROVIDER=PROTONVPN \
  -e OPENVPN_CONFIG=nl.protonvpn.net.udp \
  -e OPENVPN_USERNAME=<myUserName> \
  -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=<myPassword> \
  -e OPENVPN_OPTS='--inactive 3600 --ping 10 --ping-exit 60' \
  -e DISABLE_PORT_UPDATER=true \
  -v '/volume1/backup/mydata/DS920Torrent:/data' \
  --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 \
  --dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4 \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  haugene/transmission-openvpn

This is the same script that until recently had been working for HMA using appropriate values for PROVIDER, CONFIG, USERNAME and PASSWORD.

Attempting to use this script for PROTONVPN also ends up failing with an AUTH_FAILED message. I have tried various different CONFIG names as found in https://github.com/haugene/vpn-configs-contrib/tree/main/openvpn/protonvpn, but they all fail with AUTH_FAILED.

Has anybody had success launching transmission-openvpn using Proton VPN? If so, could you share the compose and/or run script? Or, does anybody have suggestions for what to try to fix this? I have used my Proton dashboard to reset my OpenVPN credentials, but that update didn't help either.

Never mind... I figured it out. The configs listed the protonvpn directory are for Proton's core VPN servers which were not accessible from the lower subscription that I had. I bumped up to Proton Unlimited and now I can start using the above config.
