I'd bet its a kill switch issue, if not it could be related to an antivirus, proxy or firewall setting.
i'm running stock fedora workstation with no anti virus, proxy or firewall
I don't use stock but I also use fedora, I had issues with the kill switch. There's two different kill switch options, my setup works much better with the simpler of the two. Also, I want to say fedora comes with the firewall enabled, plays into it being well ranked from a privacy standpoint I believe
I have kill switch disabled that's the thing
Do you use a DNS?
no i don't
Have you tried reinstalling yet? If you're in the UK that could explain the issue as ProtonVPN is apparently unlawfully being blocked out that way.
I've tried already, currently in the US
What about changing up the protocol and shield options?
there is no options for these on linux
That could be your issue, go to: settings -> connections -> select the VPN your connecting to -> VPN (openvpn) tab -> advanced -> general tab -> check use TCP connection
If the issue continues, definitely check the other advanced settings for sure. If you still have an issue I'd hit up Proton using https://protonvpn.com/support-form
Edit: Shield options are directly next to the kill switch icon under connect/disconnect as well
