Good morning, I am trying to use WireGuard. I can connect to the VPN, but I cannot access any websites. The strange thing is that if I open a website in my browser (Firefox) and then launch the VPN, I can browse the previously opened websites, unless I open links external to that site. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you and have a nice day.

Sounds like DNS. Is your VPN meant to provide DNS? If yes, make sure your using the correct dns server. If not, you'll likely need to make an exception for your DNS server.
