I’ve been using Proton on Windows for a couple of years now without any problems. But the last month or so I’ve started running into something that is driving me ABSOLUTELY NUTS and I figured it was worth posting here about to see if anyone else is, too. I use Proton’s windows app, and have it set so that Firefox always routes through it, but other programs (like Steam or videogames) don’t.
I keep having pages fail to load with PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. It happens seemingly randomly, thought Reddit and Amazon seem to do it more than other websites do. It only happens when connected to Proton- I’ve checked a few times by turning it off and browsing the internet as normal.
Nothing about my home connection has changed recently. This started happening about a month ago, and has been getting progressively worse since it started. Now it happens multiple times every hour, and it’s starting to get really, really annoying. I’ve tried everything I can think to try- switching servers, turning off netshield, different levels of netshield, port forwarding/not port forwarding servers, port forwarding on/off, nothing has seemed to impact it. It seems to me like the problem is something with Proton’s servers, as much as I hate to say that. I haven’t tried other browsers (I don’t think that would be the issue, from a bit of googling) and I’ve disabled all of my extensions a couple of times- it’s not a FF problem.
Has anyone else been running into this? Have you found a solution?
