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.

Hello! I (tried, at least) converted an old laptop to a Debian home server, and I was trying to set up duckdns.org and to enable port forwarding on my router. internet connection was working, I installed packages, docker, immich, etc, and then suddenly (I don't know exactly when) it refuses to connect to the internet. It does connect to local addresses (I can ssh into it) but ping google.com and any other internet-involving command fail. I had set up a rule on the router to forward port 80 to the device's port 80, but I then removed the rule and it still does not connect to the internet. I rebooted the router but nothing changed. Any idea what could be? the router is a Vodafone router.

I changed the hostname to debianserver but on the router it is still written debian. Also, it's the only device with unknown ipv6

thanks in advance!

EDIT: I rebooted again the server, and now ipv6 is not unknown anymore, and the hostname is correct. however, it still does not connect to the internet

EDIT 2:

only one device (debianserver) has this problem, other devices work as before

EDIT 3:

I don't know if it's useful or not, but if I boot a live debian USB in the server internet works

~~SOLUTION:~~ aaaaand no it does not work, after restarting docker it seems to work because all the brodges are yet to be created and it takes some time, after like 30 seconds it does not work as before :(

edit the file /lib/systemd/system/docker.service
append the flag --bip=192.168.3.1/24 to ExecStart=....
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart docker

docker was the fucker that messed everything up and made me lose a few hours!

EDIT 4:

it seems that ip route flush 0/0 restores the internet connectivity until reboot... I don't know what does this means but can be a temporary workaround I guess? I really have no idea how to solve this

FINAL EDIT: I gave up. I removed debian and installed fedora, and now it all works like a charm

You mentioned you changed firewall rules for that device. Any chance you have set outbound rule instead of inbound rule?

Anyway, what's the output of ip route?

All I did was doing this and press Save:

(now I rewrote it just to take the screenshot)

after internet stopped working I edited it to set the port to 443, and then I removed the rule. there are no rules now
