    Have you tried reinstalling yet? If you’re in the UK that could explain the issue as ProtonVPN is apparently unlawfully being blocked out that way.

        What about changing up the protocol and shield options?

            That could be your issue, go to: settings -> connections -> select the VPN your connecting to -> VPN (openvpn) tab -> advanced -> general tab -> check use TCP connection

            If the issue continues, definitely check the other advanced settings for sure. If you still have an issue I’d hit up Proton using https://protonvpn.com/support-form

            Edit: Shield options are directly next to the kill switch icon under connect/disconnect as well
