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 :)
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.
Also because it is the most easy and intuitive to use for everyone. Already with a good default setting, blocking the most problematic trackings, means, it’s install and forget it or at least customize only some specific traffic from an app to be protected.
