Another thorny Thinkpad issue. Running current TDE atop Debian Bedbug (okay, Bookworm). Trying to run ProtonVPN, which blows up.
Had the same problem with the desktop and was able to fix it by in what I think is the TDE network applet -- it doesn't identify itself -- in the settings for ipv6 I disabled ipv6 (which ProtonVPN requires). But on the Thinkpad install there is no such setting.
I need to disable ipv6; I would just as soon not edit /etc/sysctl.conf unless I absolutely have to. Is there a TDE setting that lets me do this? -- dep

I should clarify: ProtonVPN requires that ipv6 be disabled. And it turns out that the applet on the desktop machine is the Gnome nm-applet, bot the TDE version.
But the question stands: is there a relatively convenient control to turn off ipv6 anywhere in TDE? -- dep

The TDE_NO_IPV6 environment variable seems to still exist. Perhaps try export TDE_NO_IPV6=1.
With respect to the entire system, I do not use Debian but the following suffices for me in Slackware to fully disable ipv6:
/etc/modprobe.d/aliases.conf: alias net-pf-10 off alias ipv6 off
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist ipv6
/etc/netconfig Comment out the following two lines: #udp6 tpi_clts v inet6 udp - - #tcp6 tpi_cots_ord v inet6 tcp - -
I hope that helps.
