Briefly describe your issue below:
I imported parrot 4.9 ova on virtualbox and when I start it it seems like I cannot have internet access. I can see the ip through ifconfig though. I tried pinging to google.com still no response. Also, I tried opening firefox to browse some page. Still the page keeps loading. Then I installed parrot 4.9 security iso manually on virtualbox and internet works fine on it. I think the issue is with the ova only.
What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
4.9 OVA. What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
No. List your networking hardware (make, model, firmware version):

Dmknght has added a tool called “dns tool” which can fix it easily.
It can be fixed by running sudo dnstool static opennic or sudo dnstool static 8.8.8.8
Thank you for pointing it out. Not many users really cares about the tools in system that can help them (which was noticed in changelog).
Some more information:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf is used for reconfiguration the package. Not recommend
sudo resolvconf -u service resolvconfget the addresses from DHCP server and create a symlink. It may create bug if DHCP server or driver has problem.
The dnstool is a part of AnonSurf which aims fixing DNS issue and add new addresses quickly in a commend. The version 2.12 (4.9 fresh install) is having a bug in dynamic option. It was fixed in newer patch (2.13)
