The code getting the version is here:
https://github.com/jkotra/eOVPN/blob/mas...openvpn.py
See get_version(self) at line 172. It's trying to run 'openvpn --version' and find the version in the output using a regular expression. Is it unable to run the command (no openvpn in the path, sandboxing preventing it running, something else?) or does the response not contain a matching string? Or is there some other problem like a missing python library that's getting hidden by error trapping?
Thanks, I have been through all the debugging. No joy. I gave up.  I purchased a subscription to ProtonVPN for a year to use on the Pinephone when I am running Mobian. That app is fairly new. I will pass that bug on to the developer and let him see if he can figure it out. Somehow the file system must be different although I couldn't find it or something is missing in Mobian. There are files for OpenVpn everywhere throughout the system.

C0ffeeFreak: Did you install the ProtonVPN app? I tried, but my ethernet connection broke just after the repository install. I didn't even get to the main app install. I tried to disable the kill switch, but it did not recognize the command since the main app was not installed yet. I deleted everything and my ethernet connection came back up. I have the new Bookworm edition of Mobian, but I have tried it on the previous version with the same results. Thanks for any advice.

Yes, I installed the app with no problems. It's been a long time ago though.
