is it possible to not need sudo? maybe through the use of users and groups it can be done where you dont have to sudo everything?

Not using sudo at all doesn't really work as openvpn needs root privileges, but you can bypass the password authentication if your user is a sudoer.

can it be done for just protonvpn-cli though?

Yes, as described, you are specifying the program to exclude.

Yes, exactly as @Rafficer said, it should be done by the user if needed.
