If you are using Linux don't use the GUI app. It will lock up and leak past a killswitch.
The CLI app works ok. It annoyingly has issues reconnecting on reboot without disabling and renabling the killswitch. Sometimes it works, other times not.
You don't have to use any software from Proton VPN, they will allow you to download openvpn and wireguard config files so you can set up your own client. Takes some more effort to do it right, yes, but its a good option if you're up for it.
Just make sure to either set the Wireguard profile's IPv6 to Link-Local or disable IPv6 on your network connection, otherwise you'll leak data and DNS entries over it. The reason is because Proton's wireguard implementation does not support ipv6 yet.
That's good information. I already had a setup for openvpn, so I just plugged in their ovpn files and kept going.
