All localhost services except SSH stop working after connecting to a VPN

General Discussion

It’s worth noting that I am using the X86/64 version of dietpi.

The issue is quite simple. Once I enable a VPN, in my case protonVPN via the dietpi-VPN config, I simply loose access to all local host services except SSH. Can’t access my transmission web UI, nextcloud, wordpress or anything at all as long as it’s localhost.


Any tips would be appreciated.

Yes, that is intended if you activate the killswitch. You could try to disable it.

That fixed it, thanks a lot!

I think it should perhaps tell the user this somewhere though, just a tip.
