linux-cli-community [BUG] Arch Empty Server Pool

I have this error on my Arch Linux after fresh install: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/protonvpn", line 33, in sys.exit(load_entry_point('protonvpn-cli==2.2.12', 'console_scripts', 'protonvpn')()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/cli.py", line 72, in main cli() File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/cli.py", line 121, in cli connection.fastest(protocol) File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/connection.py", line 180, in fastest fastest_server = get_fastest_server(server_pool) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/utils.py", line 180, in get_fastest_server fastest_server = random.choice(fastest_pool[:pool_size])["Name"] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/random.py", line 347, in choice raise IndexError('Cannot choose from an empty sequence') IndexError: Cannot choose from an empty sequence

Exact same issue in void linux I've been using protonvpn-cli for some time, Today I tried to connect to any server and I get the exact errors above.

Well I solved all of my problems with the help of one comment in Reddit, https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1bd1o4e/protonvpn_cli_api_not_working/kumk5x6/ open terminal and execute this command sudo protonvpn init Type in your password, It will then follow through with some steps I followed the instructions on protonvpn's website 2. Your OpenVPN username and password https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn#preparation Then follow through with your other options such as free vpn or paid service, Etc. After that everything works as expected on my end.

Well shoot, It worked right after configuring, Now it's throwing errors on protonvpn status Going to have to check the errors.

ProtonVPN now offers an official Linux app which includes a graphical user interface. Visit https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-client to upgrade.

Well apparently protonvpn-cli still works with the above instructions, The only time I've gotten an error is while using protonvpn status I will continue to test.

Ah yes, it works again. No need to reconfigure in my case, so the problem must have been with the upstream data format. protonvpn status also fails for me.

Yep seems like proton is trying to go all out and lose customers

Strange, Without doing anything now today I try it and it works again. Roller coaster ride?
