MX Linux can't browse web 'can not open page'

Odd problem last night.  I'm on my MX Linux (Debian) machine browsing the web then suddenly it says 'can not open page'.  Wifi is still connected.  I can ping 1.1.1.1 but not google.com (unknown host).

Disconnect / reconnect, no luck.  Disable wifi entirely & reconnect, no luck.  Reboot and it works again.  Then ~10 min later same problem.  Browsing fine then suddenly cant load pages.  

I check the wifi config and all the DNS settings are still there.  After a while I checked /etc/resolv.conf and all it had was the loopback not my DNS config :

nameserver ::1
nameserver 127.0.0.1

So I edit resolv.conf as root and added this to the top then everything worked again for the rest of the night.

nameserver 9.9.9.9
nameserver 2620:fe::fe

Linux can not rip DVD can not play in VLC

 Picked up a few DVDs at Half Price Books and want to rip them to my system.  I am using Arch linux (Artix) with external DVD drive from Dell.  Put in DVD, system recognizes it, file manager can see everything.  But Handbrake is failing to rip.  Then try to copy files from DVD to PC, that fails also.  "Failure to read file" or something like that.  Try to play in VLC and doesn't work, you can just hear the disc trying to read over and over.  DVDs are in perfect shape.  Try a different DVD, same thing.  Try a DVD from a different tv show, same thing.

Did some searching then installed this

libdvdcss

After that now everything works fine.  And in File Manager thumbnail previews show up for DVD files now.  Can play them in VLC just fine.

Linux Mullvad error : Unable to contact the Mullvad system service

 I get this error on MX Linux and Artix when starting Mullvad app.  If I drop to terminal and do command below, then the app works normally

sudo mullvad-daemon

I contacted their support about it and they advised Mullvad does not come with the scripts needed to start the service for non-systemd distros.
