Failed to set DNS configuration: Could not activate remote peer.

issue reported here:
it fails to add the nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf

INFO:   Adding VPN nameservers...

Failed to set DNS configuration: Could not activate remote peer.

The DNS configuration error obviously comes from resolvconf. When searching for the error message I have found this thread with the hint:

It looks like systemd-resolved might not be running. Does it help
if you run 'sudo systemctl enable --now systemd-resolved' ?

If that doesn't help, you could try running --pppd-use-peerdns=1 or disable the usage of resolvconf with the following workaround at configure time --with-resolvconf=/sbin/nonexistent

@nicolaerosia Does this help?

@mrbaseman I'm closing this issue for now.
@nicolaerosia Please feel free to reopen it if you feel this is not a resolvconf issue.
