Help! Can't connect to any North American servers

5 Upvotes

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what, but I cannot connect to any severs located in Canada/US/Mexico. Most other countries, no problem but that's not what I'm wanting. Can someone please give me some advice on how I can make this a possibility? Thanks.

Discussion MacOS nit-pick

Post image
4 Upvotes

This is probably all MacOS's fault, but that little menu bar icon showing connection status is so dinky, it's hard to tell at a glance if the VPN connection is active or not.

I keep the Proton app window on display, but it often gets covered up by browser windows or other things.

Is there another more obvious way to show connection status on MacOS machines? Maybe have the dock icon change color?

Help! ProtonVPN breaks networking on Debian

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone else ran into this issue. Since a few days ago ProtonVPN on my Debian machine doesn't connect, and the GUI app simply doesn't boot at all. Trying to start it up does however create a default route, which causes all network traffic to be lost. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and simply creates that default route again (which stays even if ProtonVPN is uninstalled and has to be removed manually). Anyone else who has ran into this problem?

See also the post I made about it on stackexchange before I figured out that proton caused it. Very frustrating to debug!

After the first run, when I try to run the gui a 2nd time, I get:

``` error: app/com.protonpvn.www/x86_64/master not installed

```

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and get the same. Do you know what this is about?

Help! Where do I go next?

3 Upvotes

I just downloaded Proton VPN. I have been using Brave but my ISP keeps throttling down my usage so I spend a lot of time just trying to access the net so I downloaded Proton. Where do I go next? It says I am connected with Netherlands. Do I just continue to do this with Brave or is there a hidden browser with Proton. I clicked all the links and don’t see any way to find sites

Help! Foto app now fails to load images when used via Proton VPN

1 Upvotes

I’ve used Foto app (fotoapp[.]co) for a year or so without problem, until earlier this week. Now the app (v0.11.3 on iOS 27) just gives a “failed to load” error instead of showing photos. It won’t even show those in my own gallery. I’ve tried various servers, wireguard and stealth modes, secure core and non-secure core, and none of them work. Any ideas?
