Apps and system not connecting to internet but browsers do

Support Network
1

Greetings.

I am having issues with my internet connection: applications (Thunderbird, RStudio, etc) cannot access internet but web browsers can. Also, I cannot update any package through terminal.
When I connect to other networks everything is ok: system and application access internet. My other pc (also Manjaro but KDE) does not have this issue on the same network.

Week or two ago, everything worked flawlessly.

I am using -MANJARO x86_64 20.2.1 Nibia GNOME 3.38.3 kernel: 5.9.16-1

I did:

  • router factory reset
  • disable IPv6
  • NetworkManager restart
  • firewall disabled

Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you

Hi @Grunf11, and welcome!

That, to me, sounds kind of like some kind of proxy somewhere.

Double chefk that and make sure you didn’t, knowingly or accidentally set a proxy somewhere. Maybe one for KDE only. Not dure.

Hope this helps.

There was no proxy but I managed to solve it by changing nameserver in etc/resolv.conf to google servers by adding these lines:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

and also in etc/resolvconf.conf adding this line:

resolv_conf=/etc/resolv.conf

I still dont know why this issue randomly started few weeks ago but these lines in resolv.conf solved it.
