Describe the bug
Despite AmneziaDNS being installed and enabled it seems that it's not being used. Nor Cloudflare backups.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: EndeavourOS

Additional context
I'm using Amnezia 4.7.0.0 with AmneziaWG

cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver fe80::1%wlan0

Adding nameservers manually like this doesn't work

cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 1.0.0.1

Overriding DNS settings on my computer generally works, I'm usually using Portmaster and it works without a problem. But it's doesn't play nice with Amnezia, that's why I'm using AmneziaDNS.
