Describe the Bug

It isn't really a bug I would say, it is intentional design, but it can lead to issues.

I was logged in with "pangolin up" and then shutdown my laptop. Upon rebooting I wasn't able to connect to the internet, but could still access network devices. My system uses NetworkManager.

After a lot of digging I finally found out that "pangolin up" creates the file "olm-dns.conf" and after removing it, I finally had internet again.

Is there maybe a way to avoid this issue somehow? Some less advanced users could struggle a lot and not be able to fix it.

The first debug step I tried was to start and stop the VPN, since I figured this was the cause, but since there was no internet available, it wasn't possible.

Environment

  • OS Type & Version: openSUSE tumbleweed (Kernel 6.19.2-1-default), GNOME

  • Pangolin CLI Version: 0.3.3

  • Olm Version: (don't know how to find it)

To Reproduce

  • type in "pangolin up"
  • shutdown Laptop (connected over wifi)

=> no internet since it grabs wrong DNS

Expected Behavior

No manual intervention needed
