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.
Nothing lost for us. Keep using the OSs made to follow you around and share your data with “Trusted third parties”.
Did I say I want to keep using windows? I don’t. I want to get off W10 before that becomes an unsupported security risk, and won’t go to W11. All I said, or meant to say, is that I don’t feel comfortable yet to move to Linux, and posts like this don’t make me more confident that Linux is trouble free. It’s not just that I don’t want to spend hours fixing problems, it’s also for the sanity of my family who just need a working computer
POV: Linux community is extremely toxic and wonders why nobody else in the tech world likes them. Insert surprised pikachu face
