Hi all!
To start, please consider me a newbie in all aspects and we'll go from there![:?]( "Confused")
My levels of knowledge are just all over the place. I'm on Debian 13, KDE Plasma.
My family pays for Adguard VPN, so I decided to use it rather than pick other options. Got the adguardvpn-cli tool (do I call it a tool? a program?). It appears to connect successfully but pages do not load, connections timeout etc. The effect is the same whether I run it as root or not.
Config:This might be related to DNS? But I don't even know where to start with figuring out how my system manages DNS connections and so on, what to check and troubleshoot etc. The browser I use is LibreWolf, tried different DNS settings there, no effect.
One other thing I tried was installing systemd-resolved, but that just made my internet not work without a VPN either, so I removed it for now.
Please let me know what else I can share to provide more context, if necessary!
