Hello all. I recently migrated to Mint from a sundowned Win10 system and am learning as I go. I /finally/ got my VPN installed–it turns out I was making the cd command in the command prompt far more complicated than it needed to be. I got my VPN installed and activated aaannnddd…

I just lost librewolf. It won’t connect to anything, but firefox still does. Does librewolf simply balk at VPNs? Or am I doing something wrong? I read one site, and it recently started balking at my ad blocker. Librewolf can access it, but apparently not by VPN.

    It’s DNS. (It’s always DNS)

    With VPN on, from the command prompt terminal try

    dig google.com

    Then toggle it off and try again.

    If you don’t have the dig command, with your VPN on, in Librewolf try to go to: 142.251.35.238 (Google.com), you’ll get a warning because it’s trying to use HTTP instead of HTTPS, this is fine.

    If you can reach it by IP then the problem is DNS.
