Then, I just press Command + Q to quit the app. This means that the Proton VPN app connects to the VPN server.

I open the Proton VPN native app and input my account credential to log in to the app.īutton.

Leave the app active when I clicked thatīoot the Mac again, log in, and open the Chrome browser. Shut down the Mac without disconnecting from the Proton VPN server. Since I am not convinced yet, I still do more tests. Thus, from now on, every time I need to connect to the Proton VPN server, I will just open the app and login with my account first. Then, the next time I boot my Mac and log in to the desktop when I opened Chrome and check my IP address, it’s showing the IP address of my ISP. This makes the Proton VPN log out from my account when I shut down my Mac, even without disconnecting it first. In case you are not aware of it, I set the That’s the solution that works for me to prevent the Proton VPN app auto-connect after I log in to the Mac. Or maybe it’s trying to say: it won’t start on the boot in the front which is opening the app after I log in to the Mac?

This means I am already connected to the ProtonVPN server. Instead, it’s showing a ProtonVPN IP address. The next time I start my MacBook and open Chrome to check the IP address on Google, it’s not showing the IP address from my ISP. I also try to check the other tab to make sure I’ve turned off those two options. It looks like the Proton VPN app wants to maintain the behavior to resume whatever the last state it’s on before the computer shuts down. If I disconnect from the VPN first before shutting down the Mac, the next time I start the app, it’s disconnected. Proton VPN manually, the next time I start it, it will get connected. My observation so far is, if I turn off my MacBook without disconnecting the I need to disconnect it first for some purposes. Still not workingīut, every time I start my MacBook, I always need to check that Proton VPN app. So, here are what I do to prevent ProtonVPN auto-connect. As shown in the image on the left, I had set it toĭisabled. I fully know that there isĪn Auto-Connect menu. Yet, I’ve never been able to prevent the Proton VPN app to keep connected when I just started my Mac.

I even have tried three of the plans: Free, Basic, Plus.
