I have been trying to use the British Airways sites while on proton VPN and they don't load. Once I turn off VPN they load. Anyone seen this?

I have been using Proton for way over 3 years. i use it on my desktop, laptop, phone and ipad.

recently now, i cannot connect to the vpn on my laptop. my phone and ipad are doing great.

i have proton set to auto connect when i turn my laptop on. All I am getting is the long ". I then need to quit proton to even get internet access.

idk if anyone has this issue as well, but its becoming more and more to move to another vpn.

Hi, I've been using fdroid for installing proton for a long time now, and for the first time today, I saw that I've got two different proton app updates.

One that seems normal, and one having non reproducible build in brackets, which I'm seeing for the first time.

What does this mean, and is it okay to install either of these builds without any errors, safety issues inside app or bugs?

I updated my previous ver. with the non reproducible build a few mins ago, and noticed the bracket description just now.

1. Open the Proton VPN app.

2. Tap "Settings" at the bottom right of your screen.

3. Under Features, tap on "Split tunneling".

4. Tap the toggle to enable Split tunneling.

5. Tap "Mode" and set it to "Exclude".

6. Tap "Excluded apps" and scroll to the very very bottom of the list.

7. Tap "Show system apps".

8. Scroll down a bit more till you see "Android Auto" and tap its "+" mark.

9. Tap "Save" at the top right of your screen.

10. Back out till you're back to the Settings tab.

11. Under Connection, tap "Advanced Settings".

12. Tap "LAN connections".

13. Tap the LAN connections toggle to on, if it is off.

14. Tap "Allow direct device connections" to on.

15. For good measure, go back to the "Home" tab on the bottom right of your screen and disconnect/reconnect your VPN connection.

I know that's 15 steps, but I seriously simplified the whole thing. I could have easily shortened it to half of the amount of steps for those that know the basics of navigating menus, but I wanted it to be easy enough for anyone to follow.

I decided to write this up and post this because when doing a Google search all of the top results are for much older versions of the Proton VPN app or for other VPN providers altogether. I was already familiar with how to do this since I used to use Nord VPN and the setup is pretty similar, but I figured why not share.

Bonus points: If you use a AAWireless dongle, be sure to add the AAWireless app to the exclusion list as well.
