@JourneymanGeek but what tag? @RandomPerson asked for posts by particular people not in a particular tag

journeymanGeek,are you still around? If so, have you heard anything about the new StackOverflow program. The one that gitlab just joined.

Hello geniuses; help needed to figure out what happens with not able to open any website not VPN on Ubuntu 21.04.
History of issues:
2021.09.17 changed internet provider to Bell with modem HUB 4000. See internet connection and wifi on my dell latitude E6440laptop but wasn’t able to open any website with message:”Hmm. We are Having trouble finding that site...” and PTOTONVPN is not connecting.
So i check the modem website to eliminate assignment of my id to other devices. My laptop DNS is correct and i have good wifi signal on my laptop.
