Wired connection disappeared

Post by huddledfiber »

I just got my VPN working and was working with freerdp to get it set up. I got it into full screen and couldn't get it out. Tried a bunch of key combination from Googling and nothing worked. So I used CTL+ALT+Backspace to restart x0rg. It shut the laptop down completely. After starting it back up the only option in Networks is the VPN I recent set up.

The network runs through an ethernet cable into a mesh network access point in my office. I know it's not the access point because I have the machine I'm on now connected to it as well. I'm running 20.3 Cinnamon on an old MacBook Pro. I've restarted a couple times and still nothing.

Welcome to the forum, huddledfiber.

You have not mentioned what VPN you are using, but you would not be the first person to post on this forum who later found a setting/file in the VPN setup was the reason they lost internet access.
