Mullvad-vpn doesn't work correctly with systemd-resolved

[niels0n]

Is it a bug?

• I know this is an issue with the app, and contacting Mullvad support is not relevant.

I have checked if others have reported this already

• I have checked the issue tracker to see if others have reported similar issues.

Current Behavior

If connected to VPN and using systemd-resolved instead of resolveconf, commands with sudo and browser launching are delayed of ~20 seconds.

Expected Behavior

To be able to connect to VPN using systemd-resolved without having a significant delay.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use systemd-resolved instead of resolveconf
2. Connect to VPN

Have you made sure that /etc/resolv.conf is symlinked to systemd-resolved's config? Usually ls -l /etc/resolv.conf should output something like this: /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf. If that's not the case, systemd-resolved may not be detected.

The symlink does exist, but in my system it is, by default, symlinked to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, instead of ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf.
