I think the Kill Switch is be blocking localhost connections on my Mac, and I'm not sure it should be. I've come for some advice about it. I'm not too well-versed in managing networks, so please bear with me as I ask.

I'm an Android developer using Android Studio and Gradle build tools. I often need to run the gradle sync command to pull code dependencies. (I know Xcode uses different build tools, but your Android team will know what I'm referring to if it's necessary.)

With Kill Switch off, the gradle sync completes normally.
With Kill Switch on, it immediately fails. (log below)

(It might be worth noting that I always have Allow LAN Connections disabled.)

Gradle runs a daemon on localhost to help with its processes, and what I think I've figured out is that the connection to that daemon is blocked by the Kill Switch. But this is just a process running on my local machine. Is this expected? I'm not making any outside connections to other devices so it seems weird to me that localhost is having issues, but again - I'm not a network expert.

Starting a Gradle Daemon, 15 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details

I guess I'd like to know if there's any way to make this sync work with Kill Switch enabled, or if it's even supposed to be working already. I've looked into proxying (though I barely know what's up there), and I saw that for Windows and Android (ironically), split tunneling is supported that I could maybe use, except it's not supported on Mac. Not sure.

Worst case, maybe I just disable Kill Switch? But I like the idea of no leaks, and I don't have this issue on other VPNs. But like... I like Proton, so I'm interested in figuring this out.

How can get last source code from Pod like Tunnelkit?
I can not access to Proton Git Server via ssh/p22.

I have found that the app registers a protocol handler for protonvpn://. I was wondering if this supports any specific URL patterns to perform different actions in the app, and I have searched for documentation but haven't found any.

So does anyone know if this protocol supports any links for connecting, disconnecting, opening settings, etc?

It is interesting that only the protocol (tcp) can be connected, but no website can open

Hi. People in certain countries in the world are suffering access to the internet. Many of them have iPhone phones but Apple App Store is blocked in those countries and they cannot download ProtonVPN. Could you please upload the .ipa files as an asset in your releases so that people from outside of Iran can download the .ipa file and share it with people in Iran via email or other methods? I would really appreciate it if you could upload the .ipa file for the latest version of ProtonVPN here as soon as possible. Please do not wait until the next version is released even if it means you have to create a new release in order to be able to add an asset (the .ipa) file.

Thank you thank you thank you

Is there a way to connect by client.crt,client.key,ta.key

I have searched for ever to figure out why my macbook kept crashing in the watchdog driver. After a lot of digger I have come to the conclusion it is because of this: https://protonvpn.com/support/macos-t2-chip-kill-switch/

It would be really helpful if you would supply more technical information so that people can find the issue. Your application crashes the watchdog driver which causes a CPU panic.

Well here is the thing:
Currently I'm living in a country in which when I open the app, the initial call for fetching servers is blocked and I should wait for a couple of minutes until it changes the URI to the fallback one.

When I was using Linux and more specifically this repo, I could merge this PR in my code and build the project myself, with that the initial call would be successfully fulfilled.

I was looking for a way to do the same thing in the mac version of ProtonVPN so I can avoid the long loading time when I open the app.

I saw this post about using TunnelBlick but I prefer using the ProtonVPN mac app if it's possible.

Thanks a lot and sorry if it's not the right place to raise this issue 🙏🏻.

In theory, the build to AppleTV is not too involved. So is this planned?

Shouldn't the app name be replaced from ProtonVPN to Proton VPN?

Could you please add support for port forwarding in the macOS app so that there's feature parity with the Windows app?

After new designed apps released I decided to check the code for them and didn't find the code for the latest v3.0.0 for MacOS and v3.1.3 for iOS, where can I find it? and seems like iOS app for ProtonMail lags behind in the version as well

Once detected proton main site API blocked. should trying to connect stealth protocol first. on the most network restrictive environment. other VPN protocol almost unable to use.
Might you know, users can not wait connect for long time, right? why not for more consider from users?
