I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.3 and my internet suddenly stopped working.

I can ping local and WAN ip addresses and I have already restarted the network:

sudo service network-manager restart

These commands:

nslookup google.com 1.1.1.1
dig google.com @1.1.1.1

both return: connection timed out; no servers could be reached

But dig in tcp mode works perfectly:

dig google.com @1.1.1.1 +tcp

ifconfig looks the usual.

I'm clueless as to what is happening. I don't know what's the service that's causing this that needs to restart. I know for a fact that rebooting fixes this problem since this has happened to me before so I thought I could ask this question to help for the future, so I understand what's going on.

    Could you post the output of sudo iptables-save; sudo ip6tables-save; sudo nft list ruleset?

It might be not actual anymore but I had very same issue and figured out the reason. The resolver was systemd-resolved and listened on 127.0.0.53. But my iptables has DROP policy on INPUT table and no rule allowing access to lo interface. I added this rule and it started coming!

If you are ok with iptables and selinux; you must check all network services status once on your machine.

The issue I found is network.service ; was failing on the vm.
