Troubleshooting • Re: WireGuard - No Internet

You could test to confirm if it is internet access or DNS. An nslookup of www.google.com gives:

Server: UnKnown
Address: 2605:a601:a9f2:9f00:5a24fe96:5f87

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.google.com
Addresses: 2607:f8b0:4007:817::2004
142.250.72.132

I tested using 142.250.72.132 on the address bar of a browser and was brought to google.com search page. If this works through wireguard, then the issue would be DNS (rather than internet access). If it fails to load, that would point to no internet.

When I run “nslookup www.google.com”, I get an IP address (that’s different each time I run the command - I’m assuming some sort of load balancing on their end?), but when I put it into my address bar on a client device, it never loads.

Although I had to install dnsutils to even run nslookup, so I’m assuming my PI has internet access, but my client devices don’t?
