Try running it with --no-killswitch the issue is it can't resolve in-mum.prod.surfshark.com but that is publicly accessible (I can ping it from here).

[anon-127]

still same issue. I can resolve the address too manually.

[jamesmcm]

Does it work when you run:
sudo openvpn --config /home/bc7/vpn/custom_openvpn.ovpn

normally outside of vopono, etc. ?

[anon-127]

it works with NetworkManager

[JoshBeer]

I can confirm this is not working with Surfshark (in my case Wireguard).
Running vopono -v exec --custom ~/.config/vopono/nl-ams.prod.surfshark.com.conf --protocol wireguard "curl ifconfig.io/country_code":
