On Linux Mint, when I open the Network Settings, I always see this "Dummy" option. The most often situation of this option is when i Restart the computer. I don't remember if this has something to do with ProtonVPN being enabled or disabled while restarting the computer. But when I go to the Network Settings (not "Network Configuration"), I would see this "Dummy option" that I found out was the cause of me not being able to access the internet. But when I opened the network settings. and then disabled that "Dummy" option, the internet would be able to get accessed again.

Thanks in advance

I use protonvpn-cli and I get various connections listed under ifconfig when I am connected. If I don't disconnect by issuing a protonvpn-cli d, one of these interfaces sticks around and needs to be cleared. It is also seen listed under VPN in network-manager. I can issue the disconnect "d" and the dummy is cleared. Just a wild guess but perhaps these interfaces help prevent DNS leaks or implement the killswitch option. I'd say just use the cli and issue the "d" (lol)
