Loss of VPN Functionality and Default Changes
I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and receive regular updates. The functionality of the VPN has recently changed quite a bit. Upon starting the computer, it connects to a default location in New York USA, (very close by) and de-selects the bridge function. Even if I manually change them, it defaults back to New York and non bridging function on each start up. I used to connect to Calix(sp) Institute but now, only New York and Seattle Washington USA are on my list to select manually. Also, when connected my "wired connection" in the Ubuntu status bar used to change to a question mark, but no more.
I don't know if it makes a difference, but I was quite impressed with this VPN and donated $50.00USD a couple of months ago, with the intention of doing it annually.
Can someone help me with diagnostics to figure out what happened, if it is an unknown?
Help would be greatly appreciated. I don't break any laws, but I do like to obscurify my browsing for the purpose of foiling ads. I used to smile when I saw ads in German, but no more.
