I seem to have a problem with internet connectivity. I use NetworkManager with Proton VPN on an Arch KDE system. The wifi and VPN stay connected, but every once in a while the upload and download rates will go down to, at most, a few hundred KiB/s. The issue can be solved temporarily by disconnecting and reconnecting the VPN, but as I’ve had a similar issue without the VPN before, I do not know whether this is a VPN issue or a NetworkManager issue.

    I had issues with the Proton VPN app on my desktop, but my laptop had no problems despite them both using Linux Mint. However, I had no problems with Proton if I set it up via OpenVPN, and Proton has a great guide on doing that.

      Thank you. I also have strange anomalies with ProtonVPN and my EndeavourOS setup. I have been meaning to go the OpenVPN route as it allows port forwarding whereas the ProtonVPN app on linux doesn’t. I only recently moved over from Mullvad because reasons, and it’s been an annoying transition.
