Connected to wifi but internet not working

[mr1di0t]

Hello everyone,
I’m using Manjaro for last 6 months it was working fine. But tomorrow I had a really terrible network connection and I tried to install some packages using yay and as the network is terrible so it errored out for so many times and I retried too but after couple of retries the network just went off and not working anymore. Like as one would thought may be network problem so I changed my network (BTW I’m using android Wi-Fi) to another network. But the same error popped out. I tried reconnecting using nmcli. Although it shows successfully connected to the network but internet not working.

I also edited /etc/resolv.conf file

when I tried to ping google,com it shows
ping: google,com: Name or Service not known

but when I ping 8.8.8.8 it just stucks and doesn’t show any output

I tried all solutions regarding
ping: google,com: Name or Service not known.
##Ans also I don’t know how to embeed picture into a post it just shows you cannot embeed picture in this post.
Please help me with that. Thanks in advance.

After reading that please provide the output of these commands:

1. networkctl status --all
   

2. ip addr
   

3. ip route

(BTW I’m using android Wi-Fi) to another network.

You should also describe in details how you connected to your Android WiFi…

@mr1di0t

I also edited /etc/resolv.conf file

Hello thanks for the reply.

I didn’t find any help here but I know a little bit of MarkDown language so I tried my best to answer all your questions.

The output of the commands are as follows.

I connected the wifi using:

nmcli dev wifi list

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect <Network SSID>

It’s not like I’m connecting it for the first time. I just never had the issue previously. I always connect with my android device

Answer to your suggestion

@TriMoon

Being able to ping and resolve hostnames, although related to network connectivity, are not the same things…

I know I’m just asking if it’s the problem of DNS or something.
Thank you waiting for your reply .

@mr1di0t

That is expected behaviour, because of DHCP.

Looking at the rest of the info you provided, it is obviously a problem with your VPN config, because all your network connections are routed through it.
So try to disable your VPN and check again.
If that works, fix your VPN config

You won’t be able to resolve any domain names, until your VPN connection is working…

Hello Mr. Moon
Just wanted to say that I also thought of this that’s why I removed the vpn.
It was proton vpn.
I removed it through pamac

sudo pamac remove protonvpn

Hello Mr. Moon

It’s “Ms.Moon”
But if you removed that package then why does your routing table still show:

@mr1di0t

0.0.0.0/1 dev pvpnroutintrf0 proto static scope link metric 97
default via 100.85.0.1 dev pvpnksintrf0 proto static metric 98

And all the other mentions of pvpn*
Maybe you need to reboot and check the output of those commands again…

I actually rebooted the pc over 50 times no work.
Is there any other way to remove pamac aur softwares. Thanks Again
And also sorry for being late actually I’m in a dual boot with windows11 so I had to go back to manjaro and collect the info of the command nmcli. And then after coming back windows also suffered from the same problem my wifi was connected but no internet so I removed the vpn and it worked again. May be you are right Vpn is the main culprit. So is there any other way to completely remove the vpn from Manjaro.
Thank You for your generous help

[TriMoon]

Those entries, like you said yourself, are configurations from NetworkManager (nmcli is the user command to interact with it), so you need to remove those configs.
Those configs are separate from a package you install/remove.

Normally a well written package removes that kind of config that it creates itself when being removed.
But looks like you need to remove those manually in this case…
I have no idea how todo things using nmcli because i use systemd network units for all my configs…

[mr1di0t]

@TriMoon

But looks like you need to remove those manually in this case…

Hello Ms. Moon after your advice I search for the deletion of Vpn configs from NetworkManager and I came across an article HERE and it resolved the problem.

Those in future want to know the solution it’s as follows:
First list the networks using

nmcli con show

then find the proton vpn networks and delete them one by one. In my case:

nmcli c delete pvpn-killswitch

nmcli c delete pvpn-ipv6leak-protection

nmcli c delete pvpn-routed-killswitch

Then reconnect using

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect <Network SSID>

And thats all.

And lastly thanks to Ms. @TriMoon for the right guidance .
