No Internet connection after droplet resize

Posted on October 28, 2016

After resizing one droplet to have more RAM it is not able to reach anything on internet.

I can connect to it through console but not through SSH. I cannot ping anything on internet (domain or ip) from it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Droplet got cut off from Internet again… Every time we reboot it networking fails to start, takes around 20 minutes to come up but only after deleting contents of /etc/resolv.conf

We though it was an issue with ufw or somthing similar, but disabling it and iptables didnt work.

I would open a support ticket

This is not indeed and best would be to contact support. When you SSH-ed, it means it does have Internet connection. Make sure you ping-ed some well know sites like google.com, bing.com, digitalocean.com.

While waiting for them, you can try restarting Droplet once again with:

  1. sudo reboot

Or maybe restart just networking and NetworkManager but I would more recommend to just reboot. In case you want it you can go with:

  1. sudo systemctl restart networking && sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
