I lost connection to the network

Hello.

I have been using Zorin OS 16 Core for about 2 months now.

Today I installed and opened Proton VPN, but it had a problem while connecting to the server and terminated halfway through.
(I used the Japan server on the free plan).
When I restarted ProtonVPN, a "Troubleshooting" window appeared and I could not connect to the network.

What I tried

  1. ran "sudo service NetworkManager restart". 2.
    Tried to remove ProtonVPN by "sudo apt purge protonvpn". (Failed).
  2. restarted the computer.

Please tell me what I need to do to restore the connection.

(I used machine translation, so sorry if some parts don't make sense.)

Thank you very much for your help.
I tried and was able to remove ProtonVPN.
But I am still not able to connect to the network.
Please let me know if you know of another way.

Please open a terminal and enter:

sudo lshw -C network

and post back results.

Thank you for your reply.
I ran the command.

 $ sudo lshw -C network

There was a bug with this card in earlier versions of Ubuntu/kernel:

Don't know if the patch in the above bugzilla thread will solve the issue or not.

Thank you very much.
I tried to apply the patch, but
I got this message.

 $ sudo patch < iwlwifi.patch

Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?

File to patch: 

Looks like an ongoing issue and apparently only one certified system that Ubuntu 18.04 works on (=Zorin 15.x):

Another user of Ubuntu claimed that turning secure boot backon solved the issue, but it did not work for another user:

You could try the intel fix here:
