A while back I tried using Tor and torsocks to route ALL my traffic through the Tor network (it was unsuccessful, I don't remember why). After leaving the OS to rest for about a week, I cannot access the internet from my web browser, games, terminal or anything else. I suspected it was Tor as I saw some errors while starting up mentioning Tor. So I purged Tor and torsocks from the terminal and removed their config files as well as checking my proxy settings (it said disabled). Now I'm not getting anything alarming when I restart my computer and loom through syslog - but the problem persists nonetheless.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have my latest syslog if needed (this is the only log I can provide currently).
Thanks in advance.
Edit: no this is not my internet, it connects fine and shows that I'm connected, however firefox gives me the same error as if I was offline. My other devices and Windows can still connect and I believe even my live USB stick can. The last thing I did before leaving the OS to rest was actually using the internet, and the last thing I did before having this problem was resizing my Linux Mint partition using the live boot (which was just about 2 hours ago, since then my OS has not been working), for the record I still have around 360GB of free space on the partition.

Is this only with Firefox and with no other browser? If only in firefox, open Settings>General and scroll down to the bottom, Network Setting and open the Settings box and make sure those boxes are blank.

Like I said, it's happening in EVERY program. Even my system time does not correct to what it should be. Also I've uninstalled tor and torsocks.
