During the installation of Kali I skipped the network section which I couldn’t fill out at the time. Now in Kali I can connect to the WiFi but can not do anything on the internet like web browsing. I have already tried updating my distros and using service network-manager restart but that raises another error. How do I go about fixing this?

There is an error with DNS server. To fix:
Open the terminal. Then write:
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf >/dev/null
Then reboot the computer.
Hope this helps.
I hope i can help you but i can't promise anything.
( copy with ctrl+'c' paste with ctrl+shift+'v' cause ctrl+something in the terminal is a command to interact with programs running in the terminal )
go open your terminal and type: ping google.com
if the output says something like: "ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution" follow this steps:
- first we are going to open the resolv.conf file with
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf - then type
"nameserver 8.8.8.8" - press enter to use the next line
- type
"nameserver 8.8.4.4" - press ctrl + 'x'
- press 'y'
- press enter (return)
- type
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service
then we will restart the network manager cause it may solve some problems :)
- type (still in terminal)
sudo service NetworkManager restart - it may cause an error that says something like
did not find service NetworkManagerif so: instead ofNetworkManagerusenetwork-manager. If this also throws an error then idk maybe i f**** up lmao.
finally we type ping google.com again, should be working now. If it doesn't, i am sry i can't help.
some other stuff:
RUN THIS ON YOUR TERMINAL
- systemctl enable systemd-networkd
- systemctl enable systemd-resolved
- systemctl start systemd-networkd
- systemctl start systemd-resolved
- ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
- service resolvconf restart
- service network-manager restart
- ping google.com
DISCLAIMER:
the other stuff did not work for me but maybe for u idk
I once had this issue with a previous version of Kali Linux. What I did to fix it was I just reinstalled it.
It might seem like not a good idea but backup your files and reinstall.
Hope this helps!
Open Terminal on Kali Linux and type:
ping 8.8.8.8
If the out is "destination host unreachable", then do the following commands:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common
usermod -a -G wireshark <user>
If you got different output or it still doesn't work, then type:
ping google.com
And if the output is "Temporary failure in name resolution", then:
sudo service firewalld stop
sudo iptables --flush
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.42.0.0/24 -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
The first problem occurred because DNS Resolver doesn't work right. It should convert ip-address(8.8.8.8) to a domain name(google.com). "8.8.8.8 and google.com is basically the same".
The second problem occurred because of the same reason, but other way around.

What worked for me, is I downloaded systemd-resolved from official debian repo. Installed and set up DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, then wifi started working for me. Hope it helps!
