Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for torrenting? It's nowhere near as simple as on Windows, from the looks of it.
Yeah, the only scary moment I've had was when the laptop decided to suspend itself, and when I turned it back on, Linux had disabled all networking systems outside of the default, but immediately started up qBit for some reason, so that was great.
I figured the further I got from Windows, the easier all of this would become, given the community's tendency towards things like Linux, privacy, etc. It's only gotten painfully more difficult and contains a lot more gatekeeping. As I've asked for help with things like this, especially on the newer versions of Mint and Ubuntu, I just get insulted, even though the old solutions no longer seem to apply.
I get that too, it can be difficult to get help. I try to ignore it and have been using Linux for about 15 years as an OS. I use Kubuntu on my laptop, but I've used Mint also. I'm thinking of changing back but it's so much work, and there are a lot of other options I'd like to try.
I've had my network locked out as well, the first iteration of ProtonVPN I used would lock it out if you didn't close the app before shutting down. I contacted Proton and they sent me the commands to unlock it, so I have them handy in a file. That problem was fixed, afaik, because I can shut down without exiting the app now. I haven't had my comp suspend, Linux used to have a problem with suspend so I've stayed away from it. I haven't had any problems with Proton otherwise, I used it on my Android as well, I have a paid plan.
