Make sure NetworkManager.service is running.

There is this part in the manual:

3. Manually install the PGP key in ArchLinux / Manjaro

If your package manager fails to fetch or import the key, you can import it manually using the steps below. Please note that we use Pacman for this (not Pamac, as used in the main setup guide above).

a. Download our public PGP key

Click the link https://repo.protonvpn.com/debian/public_key.asc to download.

b. Add the key to Pacman

In Terminal enter:

pacman-key --add /path/to/downloaded/public_key.asc

(Replace /path/to/ with the path to wherever you downloaded key)

c. Ensure that the key has been added to pacman keyring

Enter:

pacman-key --finger 6A5571928D2222D83BC7456E4EDE055B645F044F

d. Sign the key

Run:

pacman-key --lsign-key 6A5571928D2222D83BC7456E4EDE055B645F044F

Might be worth trying? How to use the v3 ProtonVPN Linux CLI

[linub]

i try to stay away from KDE wallet because the moment it kicks in,it becomes an annoyance not easy to disable.
as for Protonvpn; i think it’s asking for the IKEv2 key(secret) that you can find on proton.me on your VPN page. at least that’s what i get.(and KDE wallet is disabled in my system).

Our Linux CLI needs one of the following dependencies installed in order to work. Installing both of these dependencies is not recommended as it may cause problems:

• KWallet or
• Gnome-keyring

Note that most distros come pre-installed with one of these dependencies, so usually no additional configuration is required. Also required is:

• systemd
