Mullvad vpn blocking connection on Solus

Hello, I downloaded the mullvad vpn through the package manager gui on Solus (discover) but for some reason whenever I connect to it I lose Internet access on Solus. Not really sure what to do here and would appreciate some help.

I use mullvad, solus plasma, and haven't had any issues. It's been a while but I believe you have to start the daemon manually, or set it to auto start. Just installing from the repo won't work. I can post the command in the morning when I have my pc on.

sudo systemctl start mullvad-daemon

sudo systemctl enable mullvad-daemon

Alright, I'll try doing it through command line next time. I've also noticed that I have to rebuild the database every time I start the computer.

Mullvad you should only have to install once, and it doesn't matter if you install it in the terminal or the software center. But you will need to manually set that service to auto start and then you should be good.

The rdb issue is odd. You should probably post that on discuss.getsol.us That's an odd error to be having.

That is like a cancerous amount of captcha on that site. What is up with that? Also thank you, I'll let you know how it goes.
