The OpenVpn profile works fine with WIFI, worked on Librem 5 with mobile data, and WIFI, and works on my Desktop Computer Ubuntu with WIFI, but does not connect using mobile data on the FLX1.
The only workaround I have found is to use a wireguard VPN profile from the same Proton VPN provider. With that enabled mobile data is now tunneled through VPN and internet is available, browser Firefox etc..
I wonder if anybody has gotten their OpenVPN profile to work using mobile data. My profile uses Username/Password without a keyfile. The wireguard profile uses a keyfile.

# The server you are connecting to is using a circuit in order to separate entry IP from exit IP
# The same entry IP allows to connect to multiple exit IPs in the same data center.
# If you want to explicitly select the exit IP corresponding to server US-FL#108 you need to
# append a special suffix to your OpenVPN username.
# Please use "dOadaFR_R45zkxXB0d-6hwp9+b:7" in order to enforce exiting through US-FL#108.
# If you are a paying user you can also enable the ProtonVPN ad blocker (NetShield) or Moderate NAT:
# Use: "dOadaFR_R45zkxXB0d-6hwp9+b:7+f1" to enable anti-malware filtering
# Use: "dOadaFR_R45zkxXB0d-6hwp9+b:7+f2" to additionally enable ad-blocking filtering
# Use: "dOadaFR_R45zkxXB0d-6hwp9+b:7+nr" to enable Moderate NAT
# Note that you can combine the "+nr" suffix with other suffixes.

Hi no i am using wireguard instead. The protocol appears more robust in general (though still requires toggling on/off to get the android container to resolve the ip after wake from sleep - phone not used overnight, occasionally). I switched to wireguard pretty much on all devices since it is more reliable.
