PROTON VPN

Notes
1. How to remove the official Linux app
To uninstall the Linux app, open a terminal and enter:

** sudo apt autoremove proton-vpn-gnome-desktop && sudo apt purge protonvpn-stable-release **

2. How to disable the kill switch if you have uninstalled the app
You can easily turn off the kill switch inside our Linux app, but this isn’t possible if you’ve already uninstalled it. In this case, you can remove the kill switch and restore access to the internet as follows:

a) Identify the Proton VPN connection name with the command:

** nmcli connection show --active **

This will show a list of your system’s active connections.

b) Look for any connections that begin with prefix pvpn- This usually includes pvpn-killswitch and pvpn-ipv6leak-protection, and may include pvpn-routed-killswitch. Delete all these connections using the following command:

** nmcli connection delete [connection name] **

For example:

** nmcli connection delete pvpn-killswitch **

c) Re-run the following command to check that all Proton VPN connections have been removed:

** nmcli connection show --active **

If you see any Proton VPN connections left, delete them as described above.
