Need help urgently,
First post so expect some @$@!!
Luv endeavearos, but having headaches with windscribe VPN.
It has ruined my wired connection. I can only get the internet by using public dns. When I use windscribe and do an ipleak.net test I get ip for windscribe and a heap of dns servers that are not associated to windscribe. Then when I disconnect I get " update-resolv.sh: ‘busctl’ exited with status 1". Sick of googling for answers. have symlink /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf . No ides how to manually setup a wired connection. Have tried multiple times, to no avail. Sure others out there have had problems setting up windscribe. Maybe someone can steer me in right direction.
Hello @Dasher56
What is saved in the /etc/resolv.conf file? Maybe it has saved the ip addresses of the connections for windscribe.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
Thanks for a reply. As I mentioned, I have to use opendns servers to get online.

After startup “cat /etc/resolve-.conf” > nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
After connecting with windscribe > nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 10.255.255.3
Why is windscribe is at the bottom ?
“ipleak.net” says ip address is windscribe. 50 dns servers (all opendns)
After disconnecting from windscribe "/etc/resolv.conf " > nameserver
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
With the messqage “update-resolv.sh[2777]: ‘busctl’ exited with status 1”
I use Windscribe for browsers only, using extensions. And I don’t experience any problems.
I don’t quite understand the need to use a system-level VPN…

What extension is this and which browser do you use it on?
Edit: I see the extension for Windscribe on Firefox.

There are extensions for both Firefox and Chrome

"/etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/dns_servers.conf "
[Resolve]

Domain=~.
“/etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/dnssec.conf”

“sudo start systemd-resolved”
“sudo enable systemd-resolved”
Then in terminal
"sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf ;sudo ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf ;sudo systemctl restart --now systemd-resolved’
“Ipleak.net” says windscribe “AOK”
Still get ‘busctl’ exited with status 1" when disconnecting windscribe. "sudo systemctl restart --now systemd-resolved’
By the way “Always have windscribe extension on Firefox and Brave Browsers”
Not sure if this is the correct answer.
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo ln -s /var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
Edit & Set your own public DNS 8.8.8.8
sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved.service
windscribe connect
ricklimux: Thank you for the idea. I tried with Networkmanager “resolv.conf” before I had created those files I mentioned earlier, with no luck. It certainly does not give that "busctl status 1 " warning anymore when disconnecting from windscribe and reverts back to public DNS. Everything seems ok now. Grateful for the input. No idea how to mark “SOLVED”
