Edit 4/15: Rockedge & Wizard developed a different technique under Bookworm64 I hadn't found when --starting from an inquiry regarding BionicPup64-- I rebuild OscarTalk's Simple VPN implementation. You'll find their technique here, viewtopic.php?t=13059. Should work under NoblePup64.
This is just a rebuild of OscarTalk's Simple VPN Implementation for Fossa, viewtopic.php?t=2628 substituting NoblePup64's native OpenVPN binary and adding a couple dependencies ListDD and starting via terminal revealed.
See the discussion here, viewtopic.php?p=146810#p146810
What follows are OscarTalks instructions for use with ProtonVPN, https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... ad#1018172 and the question I have reflected in the title of this post.
"Took a look at ProtonVPN free version and was able to get it working.
Signed up with e-mail
Logged in to their website which gives me my dashboard.
From there I can download the .ovpn config files for each of their servers.
Place this (or several of them) in /etc/vpn-onoff with the others.
Delete the symlink vpnconfig
Right click the ProtonVPN .ovpn file and select "link"
Name the link you are creating as vpnconfig (replacing what you just deleted)
From the dashboard I also obtain the long random username and password which I have to use.
Those I paste into my vpnpass file (also in /etc/vpn-onoff)
I add the path to my vpnpass file into the .ovpn config file:- > Not yet sure what that means*.
auth-user-pass /etc/vpn-onoff/vpnpass
Save and close everything.
The VPN-Start "button" in JWM menu then starts it and connects."
The version for NoblePup64 can be downloaded from https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4wyy74 ... /VPN-ONOFF

* Could be something as simple as editing .ovpn config file to include "auth-user-pass /etc/vpn-onoff/vpnpass"
