Sometimes they work, and sometimes I have to close one or the other, or every connection gets blocked. I haven’t blocked anything from Proton VPN on Portmaster - just some Windows services and domains that don’t break the internet when Proton VPN is off.
Do you have any idea what may be happening or how I can discover what’s going on?
- both on the free plan.
Edit: I might have figured it out. It seems like they are fighting over DNS resolving. When I removed the DNS settings from Portmaster (it’s already set in the browser anyway), it started working again :)
Windows Defender will pick up any alterations to hosts file and revert it back to default. You have to whitelist the file before setting up any changes.
I use Hostsman, and I haven’t found that to be true, but again, I don’t discount it either.
