#

are you double-clicking the deb file?

#

also ensure you got the one for Ubuntu 24 or Mint, if multiple debs are offered.

I think it should be

wget https://repo.protonvpn.com/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-all/protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.8_all.deb
sudo apt install ./protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.8_all.deb
