CLI Apps for integrations / automations
One big drawback of using proton instead of a big tech alternative (or nextcloud) is the lack of integration with third party services for automation or productivity.
I get that being E2E, it is complicated to make such integration through webhooks. But having CLI apps as a bridge could help (just like the App for proton mail bridge, but for all the proton services (at least mail, drive, docs,calendar).
It should be easier to integrate proton into any workflow with automation platform like n8n etc...

I propose that Proton Business become highly interoperable with popular automation tools such as make.com (formerly Integromat).
Without robust automation capabilities, it is increasingly difficult for small and medium‑size enterprises to run efficient workflows. To remain competitive with suites like Google Workspace, Proton must provide native or easily configurable connectors to these platforms.
If Proton does not adopt such integrations, it risks losing relevance in the business market and may struggle to sustain its growth. -

Previously I used the VPN through CLI and now I am unable to do so. This is a terrible regression of features. I am not against having GUI applications but I want the flexibility to do the one that fits the situation at the time.
