Logout of Protonvpn,
From terminal.

Code: Select all

protonvpn-cli logout

You can create a shortcut from "Keyboard" (from Menu) with that command (even a rarely used single key if you like, say F8, to make it even simpler).. and/or a launcher with the same command, on desktop and/or panel ...

Erh, how do you create a shortcut that is not a symlink, from 'Keyboard' (from menu)?

Menu => Keyboard - "Application Shortcuts" tab, "Add" (on bottom-left)

Command: protonvpn-cli logout

If you connect to ProtonVPN using the GUI, I presume you can logout from it as well. I stopped using the GUI soon after it came out as it appeared to have a memory leak or something.

Have had the same problem, could be solved the following way, too (hope it's okay to append here):

After Installing Proton, it worked fine, no problems, but after restarting PC:
No Connection to internet (with Firefox...)

I detected in the MX Network Assistant there has been installed (Tab Hardware detected) a dummy driver, last line of drivers.
Disabling didn't work, it enables itself.
So unloading and then blocking it in "Linux-drivers"- tab solved the problem, too. Internet working again.

Edit: removed the lines about drawback concerning PWGorilla-Error because not 1000% sure anymore if it was not yet my fault, big apologies, will try to test
in the following time without any guarantees, a handful of updates not installed when testing proton


BTW, maybe should be known:
in the proton /user/.cache .... dir there are logs, containing accessed URLS (at least when errors occured), maybe someone
may have reasons to be aware of this....

Because this is no official MX-Install, maybe other things could be concerned?!?

and finally the deinstall-log:
