Internet is not working if Anonsurf is enabled at boot

I have enabled anonsurf at boot with:

sudo anonsurf enable-boot

But the problem I am facing is that the internet is not working… it only works when i stop Anonsurf by

sudo anonsurf stop

And when I start anonsurf by

sudo anonsurf start

It works fine…

Hi. Try sudo dnstool address 1.1.1.1.

Output:

[!] Address is empty. Skip!
[STATUS]

  • Method: Dynamic
  • Address: Custom

Note: Anonsurf was disabled at that time…

And when enabled:

[!] Address is empty. Skip!
[STATUS] AnonSurf DNS

When anonsurf is enabled, it is better to use localhost rather than 1.1.1.1

It is too hard to say what happened. It is easier for us if you can check if tor was running, iptables rules, dns settings, …

One more thing I noticed :
Anonsurf do not work only if it is enabled at boot. otherwise it works fine when i start it manually…

This is not helpful at all. I tested anonsurf in vm many times with the start at boot and i didn’t see anything wrong. So it is more useful to check everythiing i mentioned about instead of “it doesn’t work”

Okay i reprocedured on my system, with latest anonsurf build: the whole system didn’t have internet connection for 1 minute or so because Tor was connecting to Tor network. After that, everything is perfect

if your problem is different, please provide us more information. at least the details widget in anonsurf-gtk is useful enough for us to guess the problem

hello I had the same problem but it does not matter because if we forget to deactivate anonsurf at the end of our session it will be automatically activated and this causes connection bugs so we just have to check if the anonsurf is activated if yes then deactivate it (reactivate it if you want to be anonymous).
In any case, that’s how I solved this problem but I know that this subject is vast

Now I type :

sudo anonsurf restart

And I am good with it LOL

after I specify that this this subject is vast is that it works for me but may not be for you

That is the problem of older AnonSurf version and i believe it was fixed (with so many test). When you shut down / reboot your system normally, Anonsurf turns off too and you shouldn’t get any connection errors
