ProtonVPN Popup Pwd Windows & error msgs

[CharlesV]

@MXRobo , I have install the ProtonVPN on 7 machines now, from their website and without seeing any issues. (non were with systemd. )

Two of these I had Proton already installed - from the MX Package installer, and just installed the GUI over it.

@richb
Thanks for that concerned reply.
I am aware of the solve/unsolve but - - and I suppose it is solved regarding the suspicious part because I DO know that it is the ProtonVPN popup windows.

But, I thought I might change the title to something like ProtonVPN popup windows.
I may "unsolve it" for a while, particularly if I rename the title.

@CharlesV
Regarding systemd, their site and reply threw me off a little too, yet I saw a topic by D.O. asking if people used systemd with a vpn, so I thought maybe many VPNs require systemd, yet I saw no mention of it by forum members who used ProtonVPN.

The newer Linux App, currently installed from their website, the ProtonVPN Linux Client is V. 4.3.0
In MXPI (21.3 Xfce) I see several available options, so:

I wanted to try the free version for a while to see if I wanted the paid version.

I may purge it, and start over, and I'll probably try the MX-Linux installation method, then the new App again, maybe the beta version too.

Also, for FYI, the last few months it's been OK, infrequent popups, yet today, quite frequent.
Thanks again.
