    Hello jitesh modi,

    Thanks for replying.

    Actually, if Proton VPN app is saying connected, which means your Internet traffic should already be going through ProtonVPN. You don't need the Windows 11 VPN option to also says "Connected.

    To check this, you can go to an IP check website and compare it to the Proton VPN IP address. I hope this clarifies.

    Hi

    First I choose automatic protocol option in protonVPN app and that server not handshake with window 11, inbuilt VPN option.

    next I tried use different protocols of ProtonVPN to connect with window 11 but not able to solve the problem. So protonVPN connected with laptop but window 11 has VPN option not support to connect the ProtonVPN app protocol.

    regards,

    Jitesh
