Sounds like you've got it working again. I've been using proton VPN for a while and had no probs.
Out of interest, have you ever looked into split tunneling? When you do, you can make some apps exempt from the VPN.
I'm all for that and using AFWall+ and displaying the VPN column via settings.
I have never tried it. As @TonyGiorgio suggested, I am going to separate my VPN from email with Mullvad. Once I'm set up I'll look into split tunneling.
