ProtonVPN connects, but I lose internet (DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE)

Hello!

I've been a ProtonVPN Plus user for about 3 months, and it suddenly stopped working on my Windows PC.

The VPN connects successfully, but as soon as it's connected, I completely lose internet access. Without the VPN, my internet works perfectly.

On Brave, I get a "DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE" error whenever ProtonVPN is connected.

I've already tried pretty much everything:

  • Different protocols
  • Different servers/countries
  • Reinstalling ProtonVPN
  • Network resets and DNS flushes
  • Disabling Kill Switch
  • Following all troubleshooting steps from Proton Support

I've been in contact with Proton Support, but nothing has fixed the issue.

Has anyone experienced this or found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
