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 :)

    Well, to anyones preferences. Every defense is valid and has it’s + and -. It’s irrelevant if you use Portmaster, PiHole, pFsense or anything else, important if it works to show the middlefinger to the big brother corporations, what all these do.

      No doubt. Wasn’t throwing shade. Just relaying my experience. If one did not have a firewall in place or one to replace, Portmaster would be a good candidate.
