Error: invalid Zip archive: Could not find central directory end

[adorableweasel]

I'm trying to get this setup for ProtonVPN and get to this step:

"Please log-in at https://account.protonvpn.com/dashboard and then visit https://account.protonvpn.com/api/vpn/v2/users and copy the value of the cookie starting with "AUTH-" in the request from your browser's network request inspector:"

Of which after following the steps, the result is this:

"Error: invalid Zip archive: Could not find central directory end"

Any advice?

Edit: Doing this on Ubuntu V 22.04.2 LTS

Are you able to get a zip file if you open:

https://account.protonvpn.com/api/vpn/config?Category=Country&Tier=2&Platform=Linux&Protocol=udp

when logged in?

They might have changed the config generation - I'll check it when I renew my subscription.

Hello @adorableweasel in my case this happened becaue the cookie I was pasting was malformed.

• Get the Cookie: line from the network request.
• Paste it in a text editor
• Now copy only the relevant cookie -there might be others in that line, like Session: e.t.c.-
  (Keep only this part: AUTH-xyz...=abc... without the semicolon)
• Paste that into the vopono prompt

Okay looks like the text editor helped. But I'm getting another error now

Error: Failed to parse auth cookie

I got that error as well, if I left the semicolon in.

Copy only the AUTH-efefwf=dfsefefs... part, no semicolons, no trailing spaces

Note the specific AUTH-xxx=yyy cookie you need to copy is the one where xxx there matches the x-pm-uid header.

I've tried to make it a bit clearer in the User Guide - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md#openvpn-sync-and-authentication

FWIW you can also use the Wireguard configs as custom providers e.g.:

$ vopono -v exec --custom ./hostname-RO-9.conf --protocol wireguard --provider custom --protonvpn-port-forwarding firefox
