  "textContent": "We have three different users on Win 11. Only my profile has Proton VPN connected. I use advanced kill switch which should block all the connections without VPN.\n\nWhen other persons log in to their account, sometimes they don’t have internet connection at all. More often they have internet connection without VPN and when I log in to my account, Proton VPN have switched off and it says something like “connect to the server to get internet connection”. But the connection is still on without the VPN and when I press “connect”, absolutely nothing happens.\n\nOnly solution has been restarting the computer. Then when I log in to my account and connect Proton, everything goes like it should and when I disconnect, there is no internet connection at all.\n\nI don’t know how the kill switch should work with multiple users (especially if those others not using VPN), but certainly it is really broken in my profile which should block all the connections without VPN.\n\nObviously in the future I try to put my log in details to other family member accounts who uses the computer and see what happens, but clearly this is not how kill switch should work.\n\nEdit: And by the way, it is not only kill switch. When I don’t use the switch at all and I log back to my account after someone else has used the computer, Proton VPN either does not connect at all or stays on just one or two minutes. This problem will go away too when I just restart the computer so somehow this multiple user set up just seems hard to handle for Proton.",
