- Disable Kill Switch if you have uninstalled the app
The Kill Switch can be easily disabled from within the official Linux app, but this will not be possible if you uninstalled the app without first disabling the Kill Switch. This may result in your system being unable to access the internet. To remove the Kill Switch after the app has been uninstalled:
a) Identify Proton VPN connection names by running the command:
nmcli connection show --active
This will display a list of all your system’s active connections.
b) Look for any connections with the pvpn- prefix. This usually includes pvpn-killswitch and pvpn-ipv6leak-protection, and may include pvpn-routed-killswitch. Delete all these connections using the following command:
nmcli connection delete [connection name]
For example:
nmcli connection delete pvpn-killswitch
c) Re-run the following command to verify that Proton VPN connections have been deleted:
nmcli connection show --active
If any Proton VPN connections remain, delete them as described above.
Today I did a software update on my Manjaro machine with Proton_VPN installed. After the update Proton couldn't connect to the internet.
I sometimes had the same problem before and fixed it by removing all the Proton software and rebooted the laptop and had normal internet working again. Then installed the software again and no problems anymore.
Now I did the same by removing all the Proton software and rebooted the laptop.. but I still have no internet connection. I can reach my router so it's not a bad Wifi connection or so and my other laptop it's internet is working properly.
So it seems Proton software did do some changes on my PC like wanting priority internet connection but have no clue how to set it to default.
Does anyone has a solution for my problem?
Thank you.
