How to install ProtonVPN in Arch Linux (CachyOS) ?

Should I follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ProtonVPN ?

OR

from flathub https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www ?

This flatpak has Unverified tag, but according to this, this flatpak is safe.

Which one should I follow ?

Asking this because I'm because I'm a bit lazy to configure OpenVPN and all that stuff. (pls don't kill me :)

Also do you think using VPN from flatpak is a good idea?

I’ve been running proton in arch for a while now - both aur and flatpak, as well as the new flatpak mentioned.

I found in some obscure reddit post the solution to what I think is a lot of people’s issues.

I need to install network-manager-applet every time. As soon as I do, proton vpn works just fine. This is on gnome.
