Hello.
I had been using linux and Windows guests with QEMU KVM for a long time with no
issues on LinuxMint 21.2. Then one day all the linux guests could not connect
to the internet effectively. (I guess, an
apt upgrade
has some responsibility here, not sure).
Then I installed LinuxMint 22, hoping to get an overall upgrade. Setup a Debian
12 KVM guest anew but noticed the same issues. I can ping websites from inside
the VM and there are no packet loss. But other than that, the VM seemingly
cannot connect to the internet. `ping wikipedia.org` works flawless but `curl`
results in the following:
$ curl -v 'wikipedia.org'
Trying 103.102.166.224:80...
Trying [<IPv6 address>]:80...
Immediate connect failed for [<IPv6 address>]:80... Network is unreachable
doing an apt update also results in Network unreachable.
Also, Firefox cannot load websites. So it appears the guest vm can only resolve
dns names and nothing else.
Surprisingly, I have a Windows guest that has no internet issue at all;
websites load fine in Edge. My Android Virtual Device (which uses qemu) works
fine too.
What might be the problem here? Am I missing some configuration in the host?
Any help is appreciated. What other info can I post here to help identify the
problem?
