This would be incredibly helpful. Aside from setting up Proton VPN via Wireguard directly, there is no way that I can use Proton VPN on my headless Debian server.

I would love to be able to use my server as an exit node for Proton VPN that lets me access my LAN at the same time. This is probably my top feature request for Proton overall.

So if you are saying being able to run proton vpn in a shell (bash) via script, on a virtual private server running on Ubuntu. Then I think this is a useful feature that would be used by many in the future and now. Thanks

@peter - WireGuard is great and it's getting the job done, but it's not the same as having a client that can chose best server, where you can easily specify countries or cities, configure netshield options, killswitch and port-forwarding without going neck deep into iptables. The "router" part in the original request is confusing me too - but requiring X to run CLI on Linux is absurd and completely defeats the purpose IMHO.

This is already possible by downloading a WireGuard configuration; you can use any WireGuard client on the router to connect, not just ProtonVPN. https://protonvpn.com/support/wireguard-configurations

I desperately want this as I am having innumerable issues with Gluetun, and I also find it very odd that they developed a CLI that requires a GUI. it seem counterintuitive.

"Please also note that the CLI doesn’t currently work on headless setups."

I mean... this has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Think about it... in a meeting somewhere somebody said "let's do a CLI version of the client, but require a running X session to use it" and somebody else (probably a group of somebody elses) actually said "Sure! That makes sense. Let's do it!"
