thingsiplay comments on Some Proton VPN servers won't connect to lemmy.ml anymore

I only use Free version of Proton VPN. Just tried Norway:Oslo and it works fine for me. At least refreshing https://lemmy.ml/ page connects to it fine. Also tried in terminal ping lemmy.ml and following countries: Canada, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Switzerland, United States. These are the Free ones and work fine.

Do you still have a problem connecting with Norway? Does ping lemmy.ml connect?

Sorry, I corrected the ping commands, it should be just lemmy.ml, not https://lemmy.ml/

oops my bad, I actually meant ping lemmy.ml. The url with https was when I copied it to open new tab in the browser. I will edit the reply to correct that, so that nobody who tries it think its broken.

So... ping works for you, but your browser cannot connect? On my part my browser and ping can connect with Norway (or any other country for that matter). Can you test that with a different browser if you have any other installed?

That's weird. I use Firefox and can connect. In fact I am here responding with Norway:Olso (NO-FREE#4) server. Can you try this exact same server, that is clearly working for me?
