How to install ProtonVPN in Arch Linux (CachyOS) ?

Should I follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ProtonVPN ?

from flathub https://flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www ?

This flatpak has Unverified tag, but according to this, this flatpak is safe.

Which one should I follow ?

Asking this because I'm because I'm a bit lazy to configure OpenVPN and all that stuff. (pls don't kill me :)

Also do you think using VPN from flatpak is a good idea?

I just use whichever server has less load.

I don't know if the OpenVPN profiles are synonymous to the list of VPN Servers i.e. a single profile means a single server. If that's the case I need all of the profiles right? to select whichever one has less load?

I use a single profile per server, but I only have added those with low latency and a few others with desirable geographic locations. The bulk of servers offer neither, so I don’t bother including them. Do you know what the total number of unique servers you’ve used over say the past 30 days is? You may need fewer profiles than you think.
