protonvpn-cli can connect(albeit after about a full thirty seconds of attempts) but no internet connection in a web browser or from the arch repositories seems to be able to be connected to. There has to be something that saved the DNS configuration for NetworkManager between restarts, although I haven't really been forced to confront the issue head on because any sensitive information has been communicated over tor.

Now, when the VPN is connecting, /etc/nf is reset and provides a nameserver that is either the router or "::6" or something. only dhcpcd and NetworkManager are installed as network services under systemctl, as this is a fresh install, so there shouldn't be any reason afaik that would cause such an issue.) This is honestly it's own issue that probably is a simple fix, and while help would be greatly appreciated with that issue, that's not really the reason this thread was made(although seriously, if you do know why this is, it would be much appreciated. It seems that when this happens a restart of some sort of network service is restarted which resets the DNS server used in nf
