Hi Community,
The Proton VPN on my machine was not working for a good while and proceeded with updating it yesterday since I needed it.
Now it seems I can’t connect to the internet without Proton VPN.
Any idea what I should do?
I’m afraid to uninstall Proton VPN as I could lose the connection to the internet altogether.
I found these instructions
Should I follow these? Thank you in advance
I dont know about Proton VPN, but I can recommend you Mullvad, Mullvad VPN - Por un Internet libre
Works fine in all distro and is very simple to install it. This is the guide:
Im very happy with it.
Mullvad works really well.
But I was stingy and chose Atlasvpn.
But they closed shop - and transferred all their users to nordvpn.
… where I’ll be for the remainder of the almost 3 years term I paid Atlasvpn for.
It doesn’t work as conveniently as Mullvad - but it works.
Check your settings. The client might have a firewall enabled that prevents internet access when not using the VPN.
I would check the dns first.
As i use split tunneling on my desktop, i recommend mullvad or maybe surfshark.
Then, if you are using it also on mobile, mullvad seems to move forward regarding any kind of leaks.
I do not know if this is the case for the others.
Thank you all for your replies.
I thought I would update the thread with the solution to the problem:
- as expected, when I removed proton VPN, I lost all connection to the internet.
So i proceeded with the following:
- nmcli connection show --active
to identify the pvpn-protection… connection: Look for any connections with the pvpn- prefix. This usually includes pvpn-killswitch and pvpn-ipv6leak-protection, and may include pvpn-routed-killswitch. - nmcli connection delete [pvpn-protection…]
Delete all these pvpn connections using the above command.
I had then an active internet connection.
