This error rarely occurs, but can popup on Proton VPN as you attempt to connect to a Free VPN Server Location.

[ SOLUTION 1 ]

To fix this error,
– quit Proton VPN GUI/CLI window or kill Proton VPN’s process
– check your Internet connection to make sure it’s working
– open Proton VPN afresh
– if you have “Kill Switch” or “Permanent Kill Switch” enabled, disable it
– connect to a VPN Server Location of choice
– enable “Kill Switch” or “Permanent Kill Switch” if you wish to

If the above solution doesn’t work,
– navigate to the Proton VPN menu and click on “Logout“ [this should lead to the Sign In / Log In interface]
– enter your account details, Username/Email & Password, and get back to Proton VPN
– connect to a VPN Server Location of choice

Now, you should be able to use Proton VPN as before, without the annoying error.
