To update your Proton VPN configuration,follow these steps:
-
Locate the Settings: Open your browser and go to your Proton VPN settings. This is typically found under the settings tab in your browser or in a settings page within Proton VPN.
-
Update Hostname: If your current hostname is different from "localhost", update it to match your local IP address.
-
Update Port: If the port number is not "8", update it to match the port you are connecting to (e.g., "443" for HTTPS).
-
Update IP Address: If your IP address does not match the IP address you have in Proton VPN, update it to the one specified in the settings.
-
Update Proxy: If you want to disable proxying, leave the Proxy field empty or set it to "None".
-
Update Cache Hit and Hit After: If you need to clear the cache before connecting, set Cache Hit to a higher number (e.g., "1") and Hit After to a specific time.
-
Update Subnet and IP Range: If you need to connect to a specific network, update the Subnet field to a valid subnet mask and the IP Range field to the corresponding range.
-
Update IP Range: If your network is not the default, update the IP Range field to match the network you are connecting to.
-
Update Proxy Server: If you want to use a proxy server, update the Proxy Server field to the address of the proxy server you want to use.
-
Update User/Password: If you have a username and password, update the User and Password fields accordingly.
-
Save Changes: After updating the settings, save them to your Proton VPN account.
-
Test Connection: Connect to Proton VPN using a browser and a web server to ensure your connection is working.
Here is an example of how your updated URL might look:
``https://your-protonvpn.com/args="--proxy-server=--your-proxy-server----user=--your-user credentials-- --password=--your-password--
- **--proxy-server** specifies the address of your proxy server (if using one).
- **--user** and **--password** are optional if you do not want to specify credentials.
Make sure to replace all placeholders with your actual credentials and proxy server address.
