Hi,

I'm trying to configure ProtonVPN on my Sailfish OS phone but I'm having a little issue here. When I load the OVPN file in Settings and try to connect I get: "Problem with connection"

So I tried it from the command line: "openvpn ch-01.protonvpn.com.udp1194.ovpn" which gave me the following error:

Options error: --up script fails with '/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf': No such file or directory

4. Download the OVPN file and import it in Settings -> VPN -> OpenVPN -> Import file
5. Go to "Account" in ProtonVPN for your credentials and copy them into the input boxes on your phone.
6. Click "Connect" on your phone & enjoy :)
