This error occurs rarely in Proton VPN. The root cause can be, but not limited to, that;
– you have an issue with your internet connection (you might not have one, or it might be very slow)
– your VPN might have taken too long trying to connect to a certain location

 

[ SOLUTION ]

– close the error window
– quit Proton VPN GUI/CLI window or kill Proton VPN’s process via Terminal
– check whether you have an Internet connection (navigate to a random site or do a random search)
– if the Internet is working (if not, make sure you have disabled Permanent/ Kill Switch), open a new instance of Proton VPN
– connect to a VPN Server Location of choice
– enable “Kill Switch” or “Permanent Kill Switch” if you wish to
