@Vivaldi Is there something blocking Proton VPN on Linux for updating Vivaldi?
A month or more ago I set Proton VPN up on my Linux Mint (22.2 Cinnamon) with Kill Switch enabled. Everything is forced to go through the VPN connection on my laptop. The only real issue I've had with this since setting up is updating Vivaldi via either sudo apt update or the Update Manager: Vivaldi, installed via the Vivaldi Deb repo, times out consistently.
It's the only application that has this issue updating through the VPN (regardless of which server I'm connected to). It also has no issues updating the moment I turn off the VPN and kill switch, so it really seems like repo.vivaldi.com is blocking updates from connections via Proton VPN?

@heartkey@tech.lgbt Have you already tried updating Vivaldi when routing through different locations? If it works with some locations and not others, could you share the one(s) it fails with?
