DNS entries are sticking after disconnecting from NordVPN

[dbolger]

I have a static nameserver defined in /etc/dhcpcd.conf that is being overwritten and not being returned to /etc/resolv.conf after disconnecting from NordVPN.

Before connecting to NordVPN:

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 192.168.50.13

After connecting to NordVPN:

# Generated by NordVPN
nameserver 103.86.96.100
nameserver 103.86.99.100

After disconnecting from NordVPN:

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 103.86.96.100
nameserver 103.86.99.100

Ah, I just noticed that Arch Linux isn't on the list of supported distros.

Is Arch support coming in the future?

Edit: #3, I'm blind

Hello and thank you for reporting an issue. I couldn't reproduce it on Ubuntu and unfortunately we do not officially support Arch, so we aren't going to investigate this issue further at this time.

On the other hand we gladly accept community contributions and if a Pull Request with the fix would be created we could merge it.

Since this is appears as a top search result, I now share how I fixed this on my arch machine.

After disconnecting with nordvpn d and DNS requests stopped working.

/etc/resolv.conf still showed the NordVPN name servers. The command resolvectl also confirms that those nameservers are still loaded.

I manually edited /etc/resolvconf adding 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, then ran sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved

Confirmed that the changes are reflected when running resolvectl.
