good morning, ok i have entered the openvpn/IKE credentials manually, verified and reverified its correct and checked the logs again and i still get the message that my credentials auth failed. part of the instructions take me to a github page with qluetun-wiki/setup/providers/protovpn.md

am i meant to enter that code somewhere in the command line?

i was going to post this on reddit so as not to take up all your time holding my hand but figured you would most likely answer it over there anyway and at least this was it will help the next noob like me and save you having to repeat yourself to infinity.

thank you

I'm assuming you added the credentials in the install process, right? Check your .env file to verify everything was set correctly. Your .env file is located in /your/install/location/.env. Even if you don't see it is there, it's a hidden file (In Linux, every file that starts with a . is hidden).

Check that file first and see if the credentials are correct.

Cheers!

yes sir,
enabled = y
proton vpn
the username and password generated in proton vpn by openvpn. i dont know how to cut and paste it from there so i entered it manually. checked and rechecked i didnt type it wrong. 0 not O and caps vs lowercase.

If you are confident the username/password are correct, you'll need to go trough ProtonVPN's support

ok ill try a reset and reenter just to be sure first. thank you sir

SUCCESS!!!! after resetting credentials for openvpn i reentered and check vpn is good! i must have missed something or was reading a letter or number wrong. I rechecked that soo many times. thank you for the help.
