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]

24 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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?

@CameronDev @anytimesoon This is why I suggested netstat -nr

Yup, didn't read your comment properly, but that will also work.

The output was pretty much the same from this as from netstat -nr

I would share it here, but I can't access the internet from that machine

~~Take a photo of the output? First few lines are most important, but ideally all would be good.~~

Edit: actually, dont want to crowd the kitchen, good luck!

@anytimesoon @CameronDev It should be as both commands do more or less the same thing, the question is your default route correct and are there any other routes that might be misdirecting your data.

I'm not entirely sure which of the list is the default route is, but absolutely see my WiFi router on the list. Took a picture as recommended by @CameronDev

@anytimesoon Assuming 192.168.1.1 is your wifi router, it looks correct. Can you ping that IP?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

~~Nope. Destination host is unreachable when pinging~~

I changed to a different router and can at least ping that now, but still no internet
