failed to determine IP address

[rcsrao]

Mac OS
We have created 2 instances without VPN and they were working fine until we connect to VPN. And we are aware that multipass hasn't worked with VPN. We have disconnected the VPN and tried to ping/stop/start instance and no luck. Instance never recovered.

We have followed all netwrok tips from https://multipass.run/docs/troubleshooting-networking-on-macos#:~:text=Unable%20to%20determine%20IP%20address,from%20a%20Firewall%20or%20VPN.
Still no luck.

Can someone check this?

This still occurs on Ubuntu 21.04 with latest edge multipass.

multipass  1.7.0-dev.331+g19791238
multipassd 1.7.0-dev.331+g19791238

I have just started trying to use multipass and I have launched, deleted, and purged 3 times and rebooted to try to get something besides this to happen:

$ sudo /var/lib/snapd/snap/bin/multipass launch --name MT

launch failed: The following errors occurred:
failed to determine IP address

is dnsmasq.pid inside the vm? cause it's nowhere on my hosts harddrive.

Hi @gauze, dnsmasq.pid doesn't exist anymore. Are you using a VPN? If so, it's probably disrupting networking to the instance. Otherwise, have a look at our network troubleshooting and let us know if it helps.

ok turning off my firewall worked. thanks.
