Proton stopping me from accessing the internet

Basically, the issue is that I'm able to connect to my Wi-Fi network but it won't let me access the internet and so on. Uninstalling it fixes the issue.

That sucks, because I was using Proton to bypass the restrictions on certain websites (not what you're thinking of) that my government has placed.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Is there any way to use Proton but also not have this problem happen?
