My experience with NetworkManager (on kde) is not so good. Windscribe gui often complains that "something is interfering" with it's network. Often it will not work correctly. Sometimes I will be unable to access local networks unless I enable Windscribe (like access to my printer). After coming back from suspend/sleep state it is also not working correctly. I have to restart the NetworkManager or windscrbe-helper services.

Hello David, it looks like this is the intended behavior when the killswitch is enabled.

Installing Windscribe causes a change to the iptables that disables Internet access.

To regain Internet access, I execute ...
sudo iptables -F

Why does it need sudo? I am using doas and I deleted the sudo from the dependency list, and it works fine

Nov 04 16:28:40 hearth systemd[1]: Configuration file /etc/systemd/system/windscribe-helper.service is marked executable. Please remove executable permission bits. Proceeding anyway.

NOTE:
It may be necessary to enable systemd-resolved
for windscribe to work. It may fail silently without it. NetworkManager
also works fine according to some reports.
