Lemmy gets an error when submitting a post while connected with Proton VPN. (lemmy.world)

On desktop, the submit a post page will load indefinitely without proceeding when connected with Proton. On mobile (using Boost for Lemmy), I always get "an unknown error occurred" when submitting anything to Lemmy. Anyone else having this issue?

I have no issues with OpenVPN on a router and a proton setup

From the lemmy.world sidebar.

Please note, you will NOT be able to comment or post while on a VPN or Tor connection

I am on a well-known VPN, and the same thing happens once in a while.

On Destop and on the Lemmy apps (Jerboa, Infinity for Lemmy, etc.).

I am not sure if connection is lost while making post, but rarely it goes through.

I do double check before I redo the post again to try to make sure I don't create a duplicate post.

On my end, it may be my connection to wifi or some setting on my system that losses connection.

Again, it happens once in a while, so I know when it does not go through and keeps loading to post, I will have to exit and start over to create a new post.

Yep, that's exactly what's happening here with me (I had to disconnect from Proton to submit this reply, then reconnect). Not sure if it's an issue with Lemmy or Proton.

Thanks for sharing with us, we are not alone!

Oh, @[email protected] seems to have found the likely cause.

It's your home instance. Lemmy.world is blocking vpns.
