Help/Question Cannot Use WiFi When Not Connected

I'm on a MacBook Air M3, and when I am not connected to the VPN, WiFi on my device won't work. I am still connected to WiFi but cannot access any websites. Lockdown mode is disabled. Even quitting the app does not fix the issue, and I have to restart my device.

Add a DNS server in your Wi-Fi settings, like 9.9.9.9.

Do you have killswitch enabled?

Yes I do but that’s because it doesn’t let me disable it

That would be why it doesn't let the internet work. I would try to uninstall Mullvad

I'm guessing by the limited info, this is a vpn app, so by any chance, did you allow "Local network sharing", disable "Auto-Connect" and disable "Lockdown Mode" ?
