So out of nowhere after its been working fine, this morning I turned on my pc and went to connect to my vpn and it connected fine, however it seems none of my computers internet is at all routing through the VPN at all even tho its connected. I also noticed the errors "unable to redirect default gateway -- VPN gate paramerter ( --route-gateway or ifconfig)" and after some research it seems that this is my issue. I just cant seem to figure out how to fix it after 4 hours of trying, any suggestions? I tried adding "redirect-gateway def1" to my resolved.conf and then restarting the pc but still the same thing happens. What I don't understand is its been working completely fine for months and now today boom this issue. Would appreciate any suggestions, I am on ubuntu linux, and super new to linux!
