From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can't access internet after wireguard uninstall (feddit.uk)

submitted 1 day ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello,

I had a working wireguard peer on my laptop, which I didn't want anymore, so I decided to uninstall wireguard. All was well until I restarted the laptop and now I can't access the internet anymore.

I think it's because of some config left over from wireguard, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

Running pop os 22.04.

Any advice?

I would look at your interface configuration and your routing, ip addr show, netstat -nr and go from there. Also might check iptables, iptables -L -n and make sure there aren't any iptable rules blocking your access.

IP tables have no rules, but netstat is showing traces of WG. Two of the interface names are the same as WG config name I used
