I had the same issue with hummingbird (that's the reason I switched to AirVPN suite by the way). Everything started after a blackout, I solved the problem with --recover-network (apparently), then the day after I decided to switch from hummingbird 1.1.0 to hummingbird 1.1.2 and there is where this issue started. Running Linux Lite (Ubuntu 20.4.3) Thanks in advance for any help. log.txt Quote Share this post Link to post

Nov 24 11:12:45 betelgeuse bluetit: WARNING: Cannot resolve nl3.ipv6.vpn.airdns.org (Temporary failure in name resolution) Apparently your local DNS has problems with AAAA. Try to connect in IPv4 by re-setting "airipv6" to off (default value) in bluetit.rc. If your ISP does not support IPv6, you can anyway tunnel IPv6 over IPv4 (set "air6to4" to on).

Staff 9972 Posted ... @lex.luthor Hello! Thanks. As you can see the error is different now, AAAA is no more into the game. The problem now is that your DNS doesn't work, not even in IPv4. Fix it or, as a workaround, have Bluetit connect to specific servers, so that it will not rely on names resolutions. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post

Staff 9972 Posted ... 4 hours ago, lex.luthor said: Thanks for your help. Can you please point me in the right direction to resolve the issue with my DNS? Hello! Sure. From your descriptions we assume that it's systemd-resolved the daemon handling DNS setting in your Ubuntu 20 system, so we suggest you check here:https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/588658/override-ubuntu-20-04-dns-using-systemd-resolved Do not miss this bug, just in case it's relevant in your case: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1774632 The bug is pointed out in the above linked thread but in a minor comment and it could be missed. When you know it, patch is straightforward. If you need a recommendation on DNS servers, we suggest Quad9 (9.9.9.9) and OpenNIC, also see https://www.quad9.net/ and https://www.opennic.org If we're wrong about our first assumption, please tell us how your system handles DNS settings and we will point you in the (hopefully ) right direction. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post
lex.luthor 0 Posted ... Thanks. That was indeed really helpful. I use systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved. I followed the instructions above (including the bug). Internet works when bluetit is down but as soon as I start the bluetit service a can't reach any website. From the log I can se some progress. It looks like the DNS issue has been resolved?

Staff 9972 Posted ... @lex.luthor Hello! Yes, some progress in names resolution which is now successful (even though we still see an initial failure, then the resolution is successful and correct). Unfortunately now a new problem has come out: UDP appears as a blocked protocol. Might it be that you're running some other firewall frontend such as ufw that's creating some interfering rules? We remember (but we could be wrong) that some default ufw configurations create custom chains and that UDP to some ports get blocked. If that's the case can you please try again with ufw (or any other custom fw frontend) completely disabled? The error message: Nov 25 21:39:38 betelgeuse bluetit: UDP send exception: send: Operation not permitted is a typical error hinting to a local, and not external, system UDP block.

lex.luthor 0 Posted ... I'll give it a try but I think it's worth to recollect how the problem start in the first place. After a blackout (so ... my Ubuntu box didn't shutdown gracefully). I couldn't restart it. Problem was hummingbird 1.1.0 registered as service an forcing the entire OS to reboot (hummingbird seems to have similar errors related to DNS resolution from what I remember but can't be 100% sure). I managed somehow to sort the mess out with `--network recover` option but at the next reboot same issue. Then I tried to install bluetit to see if things were different (they weren't). I'll take a look at ufw but could it be that because of the blackout, hummingbird messed up some firewall rules. I think the lock is achieved via iptables no? Just and idea anyway.

lex.luthor 0 Posted ... So... uwt is not installed. There is firewalld on Linux Lite (Ubunto based distro) but is disabled by default (I indeed verify this). Then there is iptables but I can't see anything wrong in it. With bluetit runing I see this rules: sudo iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- 255.255.255.255 anywhere ACCEPT all -- 192.168.0.0/16 192.168.0.0/16 ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8 ACCEPT all -- 172.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0/12 ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere DROP all -- anywhere anywhere Chain FORWARD (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere DROP all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere 255.255.255.255 ACCEPT all -- 192.168.0.0/16 192.168.0.0/16 ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8 ACCEPT all -- 172.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0/12 ACCEPT all -- 192.168.0.0/16 base-address.mcast.net/24 ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.0/8 base-address.mcast.net/24 ACCEPT all -- 172.16.0.0/12 base-address.mcast.net/24 ACCEPT all -- 192.168.0.0/16 239.255.255.250 ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.0/8 239.255.255.250 ACCEPT all -- 172.16.0.0/12 239.255.255.250 ACCEPT all -- 192.168.0.0/16 239.255.255.253 ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.0/8 239.255.255.253 ACCEPT all -- 172.16.0.0/12 239.255.255.253 ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp echo-reply ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere ec2-63-33-78-166.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com ACCEPT all -- anywhere ec2-52-48-66-85.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com ACCEPT all -- anywhere ec2-54-93-175-114.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com ACCEPT all -- anywhere ec2-63-33-116-50.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com ACCEPT all -- anywhere dns9.quad9.net DROP all -- anywhere anywhere Quote Share this post Link to post
Staff 9972 Posted ... @lex.luthor Hello! Please check rules with Bluetit not running as well. Make sure that INPUT and OUTPUT chains policy is, for both chains, set to ACCEPT when Bluetit is not running. If it's not, make sure to flush all rules and set the proper policy before you start Bluetit again. Registering a root process like Hummingbird as a "service" is another Window-ish abomination made easy by systemd which incredibly discourages true daemons even in the documentation! In general it is a bad idea. Use real daemons like Bluetit instead as you are correctly doing now, please do not follow the Windows-ish logic of systemd, at least in this case. Feel free to keep us posted! Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post
