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?
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.
I had already tried this, so I’m not sure why it worked this time. I appreciate your response, as well as others I’ll leave this post up in case anyone else has the same issue.
hi again - sorry to come back to this. i am still able to access the internet without a VPN, so all is good there. but now i can’t access it with a VPN. i was removing Proton’s VPN and wanting to switch back to Mullvad’s. i reinstalled Mullvad’s, but when it connects i’m back to not having access to the web. i have it handling DNS when it’s connected, but i had that setting before when i had it in the past with no issues. but now, issues.
I’ll leave this post up in case anyone else has the same issue.
