Check ping by IP to some host on the Internet to isolate DNS related issues.

Try ping 8.8.8.8 to test internet connection is working.
Try resolvectl query fedoraproject.org to see that DNS lookups are working.

FYI 8.8.8.8 is google DNS and easy to remember for testing.

Check Network Services:

  • Ensure network services are running: Open a terminal and run sudo systemctl status NetworkManager

(for Wi-Fi) or sudo systemctl status dhcpd (for wired). If not running, start them with sudo systemctl start NetworkManager or sudo systemctl start dhcpd.

Renew IP Lease (DHCP):

  • Release and renew the DHCP lease for your network interface:
    • Wi-Fi: sudo dhclient -r wlp3s0 followed by sudo dhclient wlp3s0 (replace wlp3s0 with your interface name).
    • Wired: sudo ip link set enpXsY down (replace enpXsY with your interface name), then sudo ip link set enpXsY up followed by sudo dhcpcd enpXsY.

Network Manager status is ACTIVE

dhcpd status is “Unit dhcpd.service could not be found”

Follow the advice from @hamrheadcorvette please.

I’m sorry if I can’t write everything, but from a smartphone it’s really difficult.

I can not believe it! The VPN application update blocked the internet connection by default without an active VPN. I have now disabled this settingMistery solved.
Thank you for everything! @vgaetera @hamrheadcorvette @barryascott

That happens with me sometimes if I leave a network, join a new network without disconnecting the vpn. The application has a VPN Kill Switch.

Yes, but in this case I couldn’t really expect that an update could change all the settings of the VPN application. However, I’m glad it was a triviality.
