Hello,

I could suggest trying to change your DNS to 8.8.8.8.

You can do that by updating the /etc/systemd/resolved.conf file instead, and under the [Resolve] section set:

[Resolve]
DNS=1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8
FallbackDNS=8.8.4.4

After that restart systemd-resolved:

systemctl status systemd-resolved

Finally to make sure that the change was successful check the status:

systemd-resolve --status

Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
