ExpressVPN messing up dns/routing

I've had issues with ExpressVPN in the past on linux, but I always just tried other locations and the 3rd or 4th usually worked. But right now I cannot establish a connection without loosing the ability to browse. Weirdly enough I can still

ping -c 1 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=119 time=44.1 ms

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 44.113/44.113/44.113/0.000 ms

nslookup google.com
Server:		10.124.0.1
Address:	10.124.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	google.com
Address: 142.250.184.206

Here's the route table without ExpressVPN

sudo route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    600    0        0 wlp0s20f3
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     600    0        0 wlp0s20f3

EDIT: I can use google but literally every other site will not be resolved, unless I've visited it before. Is there a problem with the dns of ExpressVPN? My resolv.conf only lists my router

cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.1
