Proton VPN victim

*Reposting as new so it’s not buried* - originally replied to Proton VPN Zombie Kill Switch

I was using Proton VPN on Fedora and when I would disconnect it, I couldn’t access the websites. The kill switch was NOT on.

I have tried everything to resolve this, outside of reinstalling the OS. I reset NetworkManager to default, uninstalled Proton VPN, removed all of its files (and anything else that even has VPN in it lol).

Idk what else to do. I have no VPN installed, reset everything back to factory, but I can’t access websites. However, I CAN ping IP addresses (tested with 8.8.8.8) but I can’t ping Google.com. Reset everything with the DNS, forced Cloudflare’s DNS, tried doing auto DNS. Nothing. I really don’t wanna reinstall Fedora. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Check the output when the issue happens:

nmcli connection show
resolvectl status --no-pager

Set with nm-connection-editor new wifi connection named test add your ssid (name of your connection for router) and wifi security add password for wpa/wpa3/wpa3 personal save settings and try to access internet with test connection

Here’s what I got. The link 2 is my WiFi. Is the issue that the Global section shows 10.64.0.1? IIRC that address is what proton was using, but I’m not 100%. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

So I ran the following and it seems to have worked -

sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved

I had already tried this, so I’m not sure why it worked this time. I appreciate your response, as well as others :relieved_face: I’ll leave this post up in case anyone else has the same issue.
