You will notice an additional connection tunnel that looks like the one below:ģ: ipv6leakintrf0: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 While on terminal, type the following: ip link However, if you type something like: ping -c 3 This is the Name Server address for Cloudflare, and you will notice that your system is still able to reach it. You can verify that by opening up a terminal and typing: ping -c 3 1.1.1.1 In short, you have Internet access, but your system cannot resolve domains. The reason is that the IPv6 leak protection is still active, but without the VPN tunnel. If you shutdown, suspend, or reboot while ProtonVPN is still running, chances are - when you log back in - you won’t be able to visit any website or do updates. One is the actual VPN tunnel, while the other is a leak protection for the IPv6. ProtonVPN initiates two different connections when you fire it up.

Well, it’s time to get rid of the workarounds and address the issue head on with a solution that will work on all distros.įirst, to identify the problem. Meanwhile, you will find some workarounds in these forums that will help you regain connectivity.
