   All you ever need is the openvpn client and a batch configuration file.

   All he's doing is using the openvpn client with a batch config file.

   Every VPN service tries to get you hooked on their particular GUI.   
   But their GUI is a proprietary wrapper around OpenVPN underlying code.   
      
   The OP's point is you never need the proprietary ProtonMail GUI.   
   You only need the configuration files & the login/password (if used).   
      
   > There'd be nothing to need a script for.   
      
   The OP isn't using the GUI. He's just clicking on his batch script.   
      
   The advantage is that he can mix and match any number of servers as these   
   config files can be a mix and match of a dozen different VPN services.   
      
   All he needs from the various VPN services are the text config files.   
   With his methods, you can connect to thousands of free VPNs at any time.
