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.

    A bunch of people said resolvd already and I hate to admit it, but this fixed dns over tls for me too.

    Mark it as a rare systemd w.

      Could you potentially send me the instructions/steps/guide you followed? I attempted to use systemd for this but haven’t had much luck.

        It was a while ago and I’m on Debian so my experience might be different but last named version I had to put a line pointing to the internal resolved address in resolv.conf like in this forum thread.
