Additional context

[mara004]

Same issue on Fedora 37.
protonvpn connect -f produces the above IndexError.
And when invoking just protonvpn connect, I get the DialogError as in #342.

Note, upstream has abandoned F37, so I'm not able to use the official client.
Trying to use the legacy https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-37-stable/ repo led to GPG issues.

[autogris]

I also can't use official client because it requires systemd, which my distro don't use.

Just discovered this issue when I restarted protonvpn for the first time in a long while. I'm using a headless system, which the official client doesn't support, so I'm kind of stuck without a VPN right now.
Any progress on this issue?

I just started getting this error yesterday.

This may help others with issues with proton-cli, I solved my problems with the help of one comment in Reddit, https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1bd1o4e/protonvpn_cli_api_not_working/kumk5x6/
Open terminal and execute this command sudo protonvpn init
Type in your password, It will then follow through with some steps
I followed the instructions on protonvpn's website 2. Your OpenVPN username and password https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn#preparation
Then follow through with your other options such as free vpn or paid service, Etc.
After that everything works as expected on my end. I only get an error message from the command protonvpn status If that's the only error I get while protonvpn-cli still functions, I can live with that.
