The command "protonvpn-cli config --list" is used to display a list of currently available VPN configurations within the ProtonVPN command-line interface.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • "protonvpn-cli" refers to the ProtonVPN command-line interface tool. It is a command-line utility that allows users to interact with ProtonVPN services directly from the terminal.
  • "config" is a sub-command of the "protonvpn-cli" tool. It is used to manage VPN configurations, including listing, creating, modifying, or deleting configurations.
  • "--list" is an option or flag that is passed to the "config" sub-command. It indicates that the command should display a list of available VPN configurations.

When you run this command, the ProtonVPN command-line interface tool will retrieve and display a list of all the configured VPN profiles or settings that you have set up within your ProtonVPN account. This list may include information like the name, server location, protocol, and other settings associated with each VPN configuration.
