The primary device is running SecureBlue and Mullvad VPN.
When running a VM instance of fedora, do I need to run another VPN instance (ProtonVPN) inside the VM fedora?
Depends on the adapter you are using NAT or bridged. I believe NAT shares the same IP as host, so you dont need another VPN. Correct me if im wrong though.

Thank you for responding. I looked through the main SecureBlue level Mullvad VPN as well as the VM’s fedora and it’s ProtonVPN but could not find the NAT or Bridge configuration.
Is it possible you are referring to the Router’s configuration? I’m using AsusMerlin on it but have not done any configuration changes there.
I was referring to the network adapter used for the virtual machine. I’m not entirely sure about the specifics with proton as I only use mullvad. But the process shouldn’t be too different as far as I know. However the configuration might be different depending on what hypervisor software you use, I provided how I’d do it with virtual box, sorry for not clarifying.

You shouldn’t need one. Similar to what @OrangePeeler mentioned, if you already have one running on your host the VM should also go through that.
You can always test by doing a DNS leak test to get a two birds with one stone by checking DNS leakage and public IP address as well.
