Cannot open web pages while MullVad VPN is working

Hello, I managed to install Mullvad VPN on my Linux Manjaro KDE Laptop, however, when I try to open websites with either Chrome or Firefox, it’s not working. It worked fine on Fedora 36 Cinnamon. I tried to ping a website with Mullvad turned off and this is the output:

I tried the same with Mullvad turned on:

How did you install mulllvad? There’s several mulllvad clients in the aur and they are all maintained by a manjaro team member. I’m using the beta bin gui and zero problems

Under Mullvad’s Settings → Advanced → Wireguard Settings, did you set it to Automatic or IPv6?

Assuming that you’re using the Wireguard protocol and not OpenVPN.

Did you try with other servers from a different city/country?

It was set to Automatic. I set it to IPv6 and it’s working fine now, thanks!
