I have wasted the last 2.5 hours trying to see where I went wrong with my configuration and I just can’t.

For the record, I am running OpenSuse Tumbleweed with Gnome, latest update for everything. Up to now I have been using AdGuard as my DNS resolver, but am now trying to switch to Mullvad but at this point I think I probably don’t want to anymore. Reason being, I just can not get it to work for the life of me.

My system has NetworkManager installed so I go there, select my connected Wifi, and enter Mullvad’s DNS address 194.242.2.4 in thr IPv4 section, then I go to check to see if it shows I am using their DNS and it Firefox AND Vivaldi give no internet connection errors. I go back to Adguard DNS and my internet is back working again. I go back to Mullvad, you guessed it, no internet once again. I even tried Cloudflare and Quad 9’s DNS addresses and both of those worked as well but Mullvad’s just does not want to work and I am going insane over it.

And no I can not edit resolv.conf through the terminal because NetworkManager will override it and no I don’t want to delete NetworkManager. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    I tried the guide you sent, and it gives me an error in the terminal when I try to restart NetworkManager. This is caused by the thing in step 2, and when I remove the file that was created in step 2, NetworkManager starts fine again, but now I need to have a DNS IP address entered into IPv4 and IPv6 per network connection, and it can not be Mullvad’s DNS servers otherwise I again get no connection which again just puts me back at square one, only now I have a systemctl command running in the background for no reason.
