I have recently been having a lot of issues maintaining a connection with my proton vpn in gluetun. it keeps dropping and reconnecting due to failing periodic small health check. My internet connection is solid without connection issues, running a symmetrical 1gbit and the router (gl.inet brume 2) doesn’t register any dropouts in connection.
i have tried following the suggested troubleshooting in the docs, updating the vpn server list etc., but none of the suggestions seem to fix this issue. it has been going on for several months now. if i use mullvad it works perfectly without connection issues, but this is destroying my seed ratio due to no port forwarding.


I’ve been using Proton through Gluetun for my torrent stack and haven’t noticed any issues. I followed Dr. Frankenstein’s guide for setting everything up, and I periodically check his docs for changes since they seem to actively keep them up to date.
