I know very little about networking unfortunately...I do not even think my ISP offers IPV6, but I could just be completely wrong. I went to both of those sites, and it showed me as across the world, where I had selected with ProtonVPN. There were no settings in there at all to change anything. ProtonVPN on Linux is literally just a box with a list of countries that you click on. So much weaker than Mullvad and ProtonVPN on Windows.
Uh ok... well if you had ProtonVPN on, selected an endpoint and both those websites showed that your IP is indicated as coming from the selected endpoint, in another country, that is good!
Unfortunately that doesnt tell us all that you would need to know though.
I have to go to sleep, but if you would like send me a screenshot of what both those sites say when ProtonVPN is on, I could probably tell you if you are good to go, or if you need to dive into ProtonVPN settings.
God help us both if the problem isnt the ProtonVPN config and somehow something with your linux config is fucky, lol.
EDIT: I mean pm me the screenshot, not post them here lol.
Also... yeah I used to use ProtonVPN, switched to linux and dear fucking god the non CLI version was so buggy and broken I switched to i think another VPN provider that actually had a working GUI on a debian based linux build, then to a different one that was CLI only, then more or less gave up amd went with Mozilla because at least the fucking GUI worked.
