Network disconnects when VPN is disconnected

in Linux VPN Setup
Hey,

I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 and using the PIA v79 client.  For some reason, when I disconnect the VPN, I lose connection.  It doesn't happen on my MacBook, and it only started happening since I updated the client the other day.

It's as if there's a kill switch, but the kill switch is not enabled.

Any help with this, please?

Many thanks

    sigh. after disconnecting the VPN, does your /etc/resolv.conf have sane entries?

    sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved.service NetworkManager.service
    sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
    sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
    sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved.service NetworkManager.service

    This worked like a charm, mate.  Thanks!

    What was the sigh for if you don't mind my asking?

    yet another query with the exact same problem, that's why.  sigh.
    working theory is what you did should fix it where you won't have to do it again. <fingerscrossed>
