After having setup their repository,
these two commands made it install and running in both Kde and Xfce:

Code:

sudo apt install --install-recommends gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1  proton-vpn-gnome-desktop
and if running in plasma additionally this

Code:

pgrep -x plasmashell && sudo apt install libkf5wallet-bin
(which may have not been needed, b/c it's preinstalled already.)

Note, the connections do require to get the secrects stored
within either of the "Secret Storage" available, which is on Plasma KWallet
and otherwise Gnome Keyring.
Here shown with Gnome-keyring:

KWallet would have a similar picture, like this:

If no Secret Storage have been enabled (or the dbus query to the storage hangs) it may
hang with an authenticantion popup, get manually entered the secret-connection key.

FWIW, just in case, a script to install Proton VPN on MX Linux:

Code:
