Problem in sudo apt update with Proton VPN
Proton's GPG key has long-since stopped working. The simplest way to resolve this is generally to remove ProtonVPN from your source list and re-install ProtonVPN using the steps on their site.
This is how you can remove the current ProtonVPN repositories:
- Open "Software & Updates":
- Click the "Other Software" tab:
- Find the items that refer to ProtonVPN and uncheck them
- Press "Close" and, when asked if you want to reload your sources, click on "Reload":
With that out of the way, you can now run your updates without error.
If you would like to continue using ProtonVPN, then you can install it like so:
- Uninstall the version currently on your computer using the instructions from ProtonVPN
- Download the current-release
.deb
package from the ProtonVPN website - Using Nautilus (or another file browser), double-click the file to have it installed
- Open Terminal
- Update apt and install the application again:
sudo apt update sudo apt install protonvpn
