    While good, a lot of features and services in proton are still half baked. I have ultimate.

          Fuck. Really? I’m seriously considering switching to Proton but I’m also in the middle of moving to Linux and that’s not negotiable. Shit I took Linux support for granted.

            The Linux client isn’t perfect, but you can download the openVPN config file and set up individual server connections yourself. It’s all laid out on their website, fairly simple. If you know what you’re doing, you can also edit the config files to allow IP-based split tunneling.

              I tried their OpenVPN config files but I always get IP leaks. Any idea on how to fix that? :(

                I believe there’s a way to do it using iptables, but I’d have to look into it more again. You might get more experienced people answering if you search for “openVPN force traffic through VPN iptables” or something similar. Let me know if that helps!

                  Turns out the problem is that Proton does not support IPV6, at least via OpenVPN or WireGuard. Disabling ipv6 fixes the problem, though I don’t really enjoy that solution :|

                    Ahh yeah, that sounds right. When you use the official GUI on Linux it creates an IPV6 killswitch connection along with the VPN connection. Sorry, I don’t have any better answers for ya there.
