Support Third-party Applications

Hi guys,

I got manjaro and endeavourOS in VirtualBox.
GhostNET was working fine before. Now it always throws the same error.
Tried in both manjaro and endeavourOS. Same result.
Are you able to run the script successfully?
To those of you more experienced, what is the error exactly pointing to?
What possible fixes can you recommend?

After i issue ghostnet start the internet connectivity is cut off.
When i do [anon ~]# ghostnet status
The following error Traceback is thrown.

Traceback (most recent call last):

DNS is not working - this can be deducted from error message - and this is why your script is failing.

Hi @linux-aarhus

Thanks for chiming in.
Yes i also understood it’s a DNS issue.

Parrot OS anonsurf works fine.
Could my ISP be blocking the script from running?
It was working before…

I don’t have a VPN service right now cos if i did i could test if it’s the ISP blocking it.

Should i analyze the script carefully and see if i can conclude what’s wrong?
