What of the other browsers now? Are they running online now?
If you uninstalled the VPN a reboot might also be needed, sorry.
If it still isnât removed afterwards, try
sudo nmcli c delete ipv6leakintrf0
followed by
sudo nmcli c reload
Bingo !!! They are all running online now, incl. Librewolf itself. So, I have marked this comment of yours as the solution.
Iâll mark this issue as solved.
Many thanks for your help and patience. Thanks too to @jonathon, @keybreak and @mrvictory for input.
Glad you got it fixed!
So much for âshittyâ browser-plugins!
You are absolutely right. It is not always possible to avoid making that mistake, though I need to be more careful.
Out of curiosity, was it this VPN you installed
using this command line
curl -L https://hide.me/download/linux-amd64 | tar -xJ && sudo ./install.sh
?
@pebcak: Yes, it is that brand, no it is not what I installed. I installed the Firefox add-on.
Why do you ask?
Just wondered, how is that possible that installing an addon in a browser could change your systemâs network configuration which, I guess, would need root privilege to do.
Yes, that is a good question. I was stunned when I realised that I could only access the internet with the Hide Me addon (a proxy) or the real VPN.
In fact, the reason I installed the addon was because I could get the real VPN to work. Now, that is not necessarily a bad sign because on my Mac I installed ProtonVPN, which initially I could not get to work either, but 24 hours later it worked.
I could not get ProtonVPN to work on EnOS, even after 24 hours.
I havenât looked at how ProtonVPN sets things up in Linux, so this is just me speculating:
Could it be that the interface:
you deleted was set up by ProtonVPN? I am wondering because I still fail to see how a proxy addon could be able to make a change to the system.
That interface was deleted when I uninstalled Hide Me and restarted the Network Manager.
Before that, I had already tried to get ProtonVPN to work as I would much prefer that to Hide Me, and even more so than a browser add-on.
