This is on a fresh install of Arch. I've set up proton before on past installs without issue. Did some deep diving and haven't been able to find a solution yet. These are the errors I see when I run protonvpn-app

Hey fellow arch/protonvpn user: most of us use WireGuard to connect. Dig around the official ProtonVPN site to figure it out.
In addition, it might be a good idea to review Network configuration to famliarize yourself with common network configurations in Arch Linux.
It will be crucial in figuring out what's going on with protonvpn-app, as well as figuring out WireGuard if you decide to do so.
The ProtonVPN app isn't very well supported, and the Proton team has made it clear that they're not really prioritizing frontends on Linux - part of using Linux just makes CLIs and configuration files much easier to use than clunky GUIs.
Good luck - and always remember to help yourself before asking others.
