Kubuntu NextDNS service forgets to wake up(?)

Excuse me Please:

 

sorry for the ambiguous title, as am unsure as to how to simply describe this problem:

on cold-boot of a Kubuntu 2204 system,

with installed NextDNS service v1.47.1,

I find I can not connect to the Internet, namely, Firefox does NOT display webpages.

I can, however, ping to 8.8.8.8 without issue.

running the 'nextdns status' command results in a "running" response.

but no browsing.

issuing the command: nextdns restart

however,

DOES restore browsing.

What need I do to assure the nextdns service "WAKES! UP!" with the OS? ;)

    Could you test out a dig command while in this odd state. Also is Firefox the snap version?

      sure; umm, "dig"?

      also, now I am a bit shamed, as cold-booting the system in question, NOW is working. 😖

      (also, a detail i think may be relevant, but, no longer applicable: previously was working through a OPNsense router when oddities occurred. now having removed OPN and restored the Gl-iNet router, things seem to be working. rather doubt the devices would affect, but,... this may be beyond my understanding(s)) 🤷‍♂️

       The dig command is used in terminal and usually follows this pattern:

      dig a www.domain.com

      This will return a IPv4 address for the entered domain. Other options are available for the dig command, see dig -h for a summary (a long summary it seems!).
