I've recently installed Arch onto a lenovo thinkpad t60 and I put Protonvpn on in because i use it on my main windows(not for long) machine. It couldn't connect to a server so because it wasn't necesarry I've uninstalled it. nor pacman or paru find the package so I've deleted the binary and the .pkg.tar.zst files with protonvpn in their names. after that I found that in there remined a vpn connection in my networks and I deleted a file in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN with protonvpn it's name and that removed the vpn connection but didn't fix the problem so I'v also uninstalled openvpn bc on the proton website they say that it uses that protocol. that also didn't work so I've booted off of a live iso and chrooted into the system with a LAN cabel connected to the router (I tried that with the system only but it didn't work) and reinstalled NetworkManager. Idon'ttr know if I've done anthing stupid and I'm out of ideas.

Hello!
I've have had exactly the same issue with the really bad ProtonVPN arch client. It's frustrating and annoying error. So, if you don't use their VPN once installed, I was not able to browser even with all options offered in the app off. So, when I had to connect to a professional environment with another VPN I couldn't work! It seems that is the pvpn-ipv6leak-protection that it creates and basically fucks the rest of your connections up.
As they say as their blog https://protonvpn.com/support/prevent-ipv6-vpn-leaks/: ProtonVPN applications block all IPv6 traffic by default. So, or you delete this connection that already exists after remove the protonvpn client or disable IPv6 in your system (or Router).
How I fixed it:
- Remove protonvpn client
- Run nmcli connection show --active
- Remove any reference to the list shown to protonvpn with nmcli connection delete the-name-of-the-connection
- I had this connection without any reference to protonvpn that was the one blocking everything: pvpn-ipv6leak-protection. So, you have to remove it as well: nmcli connection delete pvpn-ipv6leak-protection
- Remove (forget) the WIFI to which you were connected. I realised about this because I was connection through my 5G WIFI connection and with the regular 2G I hadn't any problem,.
- Restart
- Set up again your WIFI connection
Hope it helps!
Best!
