Protonvpn will not launch if you suspend the pc while it's connected then quit it.

If i leave my Protonvpn connection on and i suspend the laptop, upon waking it up it drops the connection and refuses to cancel the connection, when quitting the app and then opening it again, it doesn't open at all. I managed to get logs by running flatpak run com.protonvpn.www so here is what i got:

While restarting it is the easy solution, sometimes its difficult to restart if one has a lot of tabs open or they have work to be done. Running Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon Xorg.

Can you reproduce this issue with the DEB packages? It looks to me like a NetworkManager incompatibility

I tried with the DEB version, however it seems as though after a suspend, i can disconnect then reconnect and it worked (although i did get the prompt to for authentication required but after a few tries it worked)

If you are able to reproduce the issue with the DEB version, it's an upstream bug. You need to report the issue to Proton and ask them to fix it. This repository is nothing but a repackaging of the upstream software.
