protonvpn-cli-connect: Connect to ProtonVPN using a random server with a specific protocol.
$ protonvpn-cli connect --random --protocol ${select}
try on your machine
This command is used to connect to a VPN (Virtual Private Network) server using the ProtonVPN command-line interface (CLI). Let's break down the different parts of the command:
protonvpn-cli
: This is the command to start the ProtonVPN CLI program.connect
: This subcommand instructs the CLI to establish a connection with a VPN server.--random
: This flag is used to select a random VPN server to connect to. By using this flag, the CLI will automatically choose a server for you, rather than making you specify a particular one.--protocol ${select}
: The--protocol
flag instructs the CLI to use a specific VPN protocol when connecting to the server. The value${select}
represents a variable that should be replaced with the desired protocol (e.g.,tcp
,udp
,ipsec
, etc.). By default, if this variable is not replaced, it will use the system default protocol.
Overall, this command connects to a randomly selected ProtonVPN server using a specified or default VPN protocol.
