When I used Mullvad with the kill switch on, I could still access local network resources–NAS, printers, etc.
Is there a way to make ProtonVPN do that? (On MacOS)

Nope. Extremely annoying.
Proton VPN uses the Android killswitch, which prevents any connection not going through the configured VPN on a system level. This comes with the downside that lokal connections do not work as well. Depending on your usecase and POV, this can be a positive or a negative. Proton could probably implement their own killswitch, but note that a non-system killswitch can simply be circumvented - which is probably exactly why they don’t offer it (yet).
On my android device there’s a setting in the
advanced settingsthat says it should be able to do this.
On MacOs… Not a clue sorry :( maybe there’s something similar in the settings?
It’s there on MacOS but if you enable you have to turn off kill switch. So, I’m not really sure what it’s for.
