I turned on my computer after a couple weeks and I can no longer connect to websites using fqdn. Pinging google.com returns “google.com:name or service not known.”
I am able to ping 8.8.8.8 just fine and my computer is getting an address from dhcp.
Also nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8 returns googles ip address which I can ping successfully.
I don’t know what that stuff means honestly. I tried adding nameserver 8.8.8.8 to the beginning of the resolv.conf file but it didn’t help. The change is removed from the resolv.conf file after reboot.
I had proton a vpn flatpak installed at one point but I removed it the last time I used the computer. I’m wondering if there is some configuration that got screwed up by it. I can’t find a fix on google and I don’t know what else to check. Thanks.
