Can't connect to external sites after connecting to VPN

I'm using a VPN from my uni to connect to the internal network, but when I am connected to it, I can't open external sites on Firefox. I am on Linux and using Firefox 86.

I initially thought it was a DNS issue since the VPN connection adds it own nameservers to resolv.conf but `resolveconf query` works and even `ping` works. T

I've tried all the proxy options but nothing seems to work.
