I installed https://hide.me VPN on my Ubuntu 22.10 server.
https://github.com/eventure/hide.client.linux
I was using XRDP to control the server with a GUI.
After I enabled the VPN, the XRDP connection was immediately cut off.
When the VPN is connected, my RDP / SSH connections dont seem to go through. The only way I was able to regain access to the machine was via https://linode.com's web SSH client (and also be just restarting the machine to kill the VPN).
Because I can't work properly with this VPN, I decided to abandon it; I uninstalled the VPN (and stopped/disabled its services - and have rebooted).
But now, the internet isn't working anymore. Unlike before, all my attempts to connect to the internet (curl, google chrome, etc) fail. The only way I've been able to access the internet from the machine is by re-enabling the VPN (which then prevents me from SSH'ing / RDP'ing).
The weird thing is, I can still SSH and RDP into the machine right now - so obviously the machine is connected to the internet - but I think the apps like curl and Chrome are trying to connect to the internet through a non-existing VPN.
I've tried different things with ethernet/network configurations.
For example, doing some searching online I saw other users had an "ethernet" device showing in their settings, but my machine didn't, so I ran:
sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
From Ethernet Network not showing or connecting in Ubuntu 17.04
That then started showing an ethernet device, but still no internet working.
Here's the result of me running: resolvectl status
