The legacy protonvpn-cli has finally stopped working all together.  It's time to say goodbye.

Please note it is still possible to use the ProtonVPN service by using the OpenVPN or WireGuard configuration files (I use the WireGuard configuration files with my router).

Here is the output when trying to connect to the VPN using protonvpn-cli:

Sometimes, the reason is simply that dialog was given a height or width parameter that is too big for the terminal in use. Its output, with leading and trailing whitespace stripped, was:
