  • Contact the maker of the VPN they have their own support. – David May 04 '23 at 15:00
  • The maker of the VPN, Proton provided an answer that is unusable to me in my present state of tech. – Hotwrench May 04 '23 at 15:03
  • If the .deb file is located in your downloads directory, then you need to separate the path and the filename with a / not a space: sudo apt-get install /home/george/Downloads/protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.3_all.deb – steeldriver May 04 '23 at 23:00
  • It seems like you're trying to install a .deb file the same way as in this answer, but your syntax is incorrect. – karel May 05 '23 at 02:09
