Connection confuse Shrew Soft VPN

I'm having trouble using the VPN.

I can activate and connect with the Shrew Soft VPN, but my browser cannot resolve the name (DNS). You should use the internet connection to browse.
Also, the system that should use the Shrew Soft VPN does not achieve this connection.

I tested a Windows 10 machine and it worked.

I am trying to migrate all my work to Zorin OS.

I appreciate help.

Please be patient as my native language is Potuguês Brasil.

Did you update your system after installing the VPN? ;) :D

What browser are you using and which browser did you use in Windows 10 where it worked before?

Hello,

I use Google Chrome on both Windows 10 and ZorinOS.

Can you try and export your Chrome Setings in Windows then import in Zorin to see if that resolves the issue? Just a thought - what you are doing is way beyond my capabilities! ;) :D

Can you navigate in VPN Site Configuration to the Name Resolution Tab and check if the "Enable DNS" is checked or unchecked,
If "Obtain automatically" is checked or unchecked?
