Add setting "allow LAN connected" for linux
Please add the setting to "allow LAN connections" for Linux while connected to vpn. Turning the vpn off to use the printer is no fun.

fwiw, it seems like using an RFC1918 IP address will allow for connections while still on VPN. However, since DNS is going through the tunnel, the external DNS server isn't going to know your local devices.
If there was an option/setting within the app to for example whitelist a TLD like .local for local connections, I think that would be an optimal way to solve this. (since protonVPN doesn't know what DNS queries are going to be ones that resolve locally vs externally and they shouldn't send all things locally because that would then leak out information).

Please add this. It's a very basic function for a VPN that should be in all the versions.

It's very annoying to disconnect whenever I need to access a service in the homelab. Let's add the option like in the Mac and Windows version.

Seconded. I think if this feature was in place I wouldn't ever consider going back to PIA. Everything other option and feature in Proton meets my needs as well or better.
