Hmm. No problem at all here with TDE and Trixie. Am having a problem, which I'm about to resolve, with ProtonVPN, Enlightenment, and Trixie on a ThinkPad. But I think that this is probably due to artifacts of previous ProtonVPN installations -- haven't used the laptop for a few months and revived it as a testbed for Enlightenment.

(Which is *really* good -- Debian and others even have packages for it -- though Rasterman started from scratch, reinventing pretty much everything rather than pile kludge atop kludge like everyone else, which is why after close to 30 years it's at Version 0.27. That and his very conservative version numbering. So much of what I knew was od exactly no use. But lawzy, when I figure out something and make it work it is *glorious*! Also, when you submit a question to the mailing list, you are likely to get an answer from Raster himself, which is like having a question about MC and getting an answer from Miguel.)

Anyway, my plan, and what I recommend trying, is to utterly nuke ProtonVPN from the machine, then run this:

nmcli connection show --active nmcli connection delete [pvpn conn.] nmcli connection show -active

Then reinstall, from here: https://protonapps.com/

(Pick the Linux desktop app and follow the instructions.)
