I just tested it out to see if it would stop if I closed the VPN…it did not stop at all, just kept on downloading. There must be something I’m doing wrong. I’m on Ubuntu, which should function pretty similarly to PoP!_OS. I specifically picked a P2P server in Proton VPN, a United Kingdom one with the little arrow circle symbol.
That’s unfortunate. I’ll end up sticking to Mullvad for now then. I am comfortable with the terminal for navigation and simple things like that, but nowhere near comfortable enough to stake the security of my computer or the wrath of my ISP on it.
Unfortunately, the installation instructions for Fedora Linux (my operating system) don’t work at the moment. Any other alternatives to this?
