Completely reset all network interfaces

pk flag

I have Ubuntu 20.04. My computer froze up and I had to hard power down. I was on a VPN at the time and I suspect that did something Since then, I cannot get on the Internet. I've been on forums for hours with no luck.

I can ping 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, my gateway 192.168.1.1.

I used my cell phone with Termux and was able to resolve hosts

But when I ping www.google.com, Temporary failure in Name resolution. This works fine on other devices

Steps I've tried: Sudo Nano /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml Netplan generate Net plan apply

Systemd-resolve --flush-caches

Sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf Add nameserver 8.8.8.8

Systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

I deleted all network profiles in the GUI and reset there

Rebooted the computer multiple times

Rebooted my Wi-Fi access point. The computer is cabled into the access point.

Rebooted the ISP modem

Sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved

Nmcli networking off Nmcli networking on

Dhclient -r Dhclient

I am at out of ideas and it still doesn't work.

Is there any nuclear option on networking? At this point, I am worried I may be forced to reinstall the OS

UPDATE: 01-network-manager-all.yaml Network: version: 2 Renderer: NetworkManager

Uname -r 5.13.0-30-generic

Ls -al /etc/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx root root 39 Sep 19 14:11 /etcresolv.conf -> ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf

UPDATE:

Uninstalled ProtonVPN Ran nmcli connection show --active

'pvpn-ipv6leak-protection...' nmcli connection delete pvpn-ipv6leak-protection 'Connection pvpn-ipv6leak-protection successfully deleted

Now a ping to www.google.com works

I am not surprised it was the ipv6leak issue.

When I ran sudo systemd-resolve --status | grep Current Current DNS Server: ::1

Why is there an ipv6 address there?

After deleting the kill switch. Now I get Current DNS Server: 192.168.1.1 Which is the IP address of my ISP router (probably same IP on the vast majority of home routers)

Please edit your question to show the result of these terminal commands: `cat /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml` and: `uname -r` and: `ls -al /etc/resolv.conf` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

Are you using a commercial VPN like Nord or Express?

That solved it!!! I guess what happened is when the computer froze up and I did a hard reboot, it activated the kill switch and got stuck. See update. Can't seem to hit return on the comment

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
