And another quick way to get around this issue, when you do end-up on a country that floods your internet experience with age verification blocks, is to let users trivially change to a random server and refresh the page

This, but please make sure that you sign the AppImage with PGP, and add documentation to your knowledge base describing how to download the PGP key that you use to sign releases and how to verify the signature of the AppImage.
Note that AppImage has native support for PGP signing.

I think an AppImage is the best way to support Linux Mint (and 99% of all other Linux distros too)

This. I paid for a month to try-out Proton VPN, but I think I'll be switching back to AirVPN until this issue is fixed.
It literally took me over 10 minutes to do in Proton what it takes a few seconds to do in AirVPN.
Please add a "download all" button at the top (or bottom) of the list of countries that just downloads the OpenVPN files for all of the configs that match the filters selected. Put it in a zip or tar archive file, if you must.

Please add an option for "Random Country" next to the option "Fastest Country" in the Proton VPN app
Currently there is only two options in the Android app for Proton VPN:
1. Fastest Country
2. Last connection...this is a problem, because it makes it means that a user's going to be frequently using the same server.
This is bad for users who want to switch between servers frequently -- which is better for privacy.
This is also bad for users who are experiencing issues where the server selected by the "fastest server" algorithm gets stuck on a country that has implemented fascistic internet laws or experiences geo locks. If a user is presented, for example, with either a "please give your government-issued ID to this third party provider to view the content of this website" or "due to GDPR, the content on this website is blocked from your country", then there's no easy way to tell the Proton VPN app "yeah, this country doesn't work; let's try again with another random country"
The only option currently is for a user to manually select a country. Which, again, means their traffic will get pidgin-holed in a single country over-and-over, decreasing their online privacy and making them more vulnerable to surveillance and traffic correlation attacks.
The solution to this is to add a third option to the above-listed options, named:
[3] Random Country
When "Random Country" is selected, every time Proton VPN connects, the algorithm to decide which server to connect to should first pick a random country from the list of available countries, and then pick a random server in that country's available servers. And connect to it.
This means that, when the "Random Country" is enabled, when a user clicks "Disconnect" and then "Reconnect", Proton VPN should connect to a different server almost every time.
This allows a user to quickly "alt tab" to their VPN app, tap twice (disconnect-connect) and then "alt tab" back to their web browser and refresh if they've encountered geo blocking or other issues with their current VPN exit.

No thank you. flatpak and snap both have issues. Unlike apt, they don't do PGP signatures.
A better alternative is a cryptographically signed AppImage:
