unRAID server having severe DNS issues

To add to this - I kept "host access to custom networks" on and went back to macvlan and all my problems went away. I do not have crashing issues with macvlan (luckily).

Well look at that. Changing 'ipvlan' to 'macvlan' to fixed the issue. I kept all the other settings as is. Now, I am more curious as to why ipvlan had that issue and it didn't occur for the first few minutes after reboot.

I appear to be having the same symptoms. I'm not getting clock sync errors or anything. I can hit anything on my local LAN using IP or DNS entry (using pfSense DNS resolver), but anything that my local DNS cannot resolve (e.g. google.com) I get "Destination Host Unreachable". 

 

What's odd is I tried the same ping tests from inside a VM running on Unraid while Unraid is having these issues ... and the VM has no network problems at all. The VM is configured to use the same pfSense DNS resolver.

 

I wasn't having this issue until after I upgraded to 6.11.5. I was previously on 6.10.3.

My issue is identical to this. 
After a clean reboot, everything is fine for a while, anywhere up to a few days and then all the sudden I cannot resolve hostnames outside my local network. I can get to IP addresses fine, but hostnames are a bust. Containers work just fine through all of this. Nothing has changed in my network, and no other devices are having any DNS issues to speak of.

I'm having the same issues but only with Mellanox MCX311A 10Gb sfp+ cards, or Realtek 2.5Gb ethernet.  My Intel x710 sfp+ card works fine and so do any 1Gb ethernet ports.  I'm not sure how or why DNS requests would stop working outside gateway, but I can consistently duplicate this.

Any updates on this? I posted in another thread (community apps) about this, but ive been having these issues for a bit now. It works for a few days then poof doesnt want to ping anything. dockers and VMs still work fine. running 6.12.2, but saw this on 6.12.1 and 6.11.5

I was having same issue, got it working by setting eth0 IPv4 gateway metrics to 0 and other network card gateways to 5.

Wanted to update everyone.. I believe the issue is resolved. Changes since my last post.. Updated to 6.12.3, set my IP as static in the network settings and manually set my DNS to cloudflare.

try to delete network.cfg and setup network again,   but why do you enable bonding if you only has nic

I was having the same issue, and this was the only thing that worked for me. It's been weeks of no external access, but fine locally, but looking at the file it seems fine.

Now it hit me after updating to 7.0. No fancy setup, network stuff was all by default install. Unraid sits behind a Fritzbox router which works as DHCP server.

 

Internal traffic like my local shares or even pinging random hosts from console works fine. Unraid however is unable to check for docker or app updates.

 

I tried deleting network.cfg but that did not help.

Community Applications requires your server to have internet access. The most common cause of this failure is a failure to resolve DNS addresses. You can try and reset your modem and router to fix this issue, or set static DNS addresses (Settings - Network Settings) of 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 and try again.
 

Great! I did a fresh install of Unraid 7 and it doesn`t work.

 

My setup is (and was *sigh*) minimal, just one harddrive and one ssd as cache and I never touched network settings. My router is a Fritzbox and just forwards the necessary ports. Nothing fancy, but now I have to look for another operating system.

Have you tried a static address and route in unraid instad of DHCP?

Try changing from ipvlan to macvlan

Try deleting network.cfg and reboot.

 

I've run into this before, but also with other linux distros.  It is frustrating to say the least.

At work we've even had to add routes to the routing table just to get internet access sometimes and this was on Oracle Linux.  Even though the routing table looked correct before.

 

Thanks, your warm words gave me hope again and I went for another fresh install. I tried all your suggestions before, but why not  give it one more shot.

 

Had to use another usb drive though, because Unraid USB Creator wasn't able to finish writing to my default one. With the new drive that worked and I was able to setup static adresses from the get-go.

 

The new system wasn't even able to register for the 30 day trial. Game over again.

A new install should be able to activate using all the default settings, if it doesn't, there's likely some issue with your network/router/ISP

Unraid 7.0.1 reverted dhcpcd to 9.5.3 and that was my latest motivation to give it another try.

 

Not only did the USB Creator Tool work now, my network problems seem to be gone when manually setting up some open DNS.
