i recently installed ProtonVPN (free version) and the following message appears all the time
โ€œ[WARN] mdns: Failed to set multicast interface: setsockopt: An invalid argument was supplied.โ€

Is there a fix to this or should i change to another VPN?

mDNS likely wonโ€™t work on any good VPN, Iโ€™d just ignore it.

but iโ€™m not able to access my ipfs data if the VPN is connected, is there a way to fix this?

What do you mean by โ€œiโ€™m not able to access my ipfs dataโ€? What are you trying to do? What have you tried?

Connection to the IPFS is lost and iโ€™m not able to read the files stored on it. I simply use IPFS to store my files, nothing serious cos iโ€™m not an IT guy :slight_smile:
