over the last couple of days my macbook has started to have a weird DNS issue where i can no connect to the internet on any browser unless I connect via a vpn. I am away from home at the moment but I've tried my mobile router and via hotspot on my phone with the same result. Other devices work fine when connected to these. It's not just websites that don't work, torrents, spotify or even pinging google via the terminal doesn't work either. It does go through when I ping googles IP so that tells me it's a dns issue. I have the firewall turned off, I have flushed the DNS tried manually pointing it at 1.1.1.1

I'm lost for ideas what could be doing it. Any ideas?
