I found many people having this experience on the forums but the
efforts that I tried which were solutions for them didn't help me.
Like I wrote, no browser that is not in a VM connects to google.com.
My ISP is Cybermesa and they tried to help with DNS settings but
that's all fine and was never an issue before anyway. I've tried
disabling all add-ons for Firefox and that doesn't make a
difference. A restart, which would kill all instances of all apps
doesn't help.<br>
There are many "fixes" out there. Just none of them fix my problem,
which is essentially identical to what other users, like you,
experienced. they solved the issue. I cannot.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">While this issue is sad I am still so
happy to see someone else having this issue and it is not just
me. Like you I have searched everywhere and have not been able
to find anyone else having this issue. Are you using
Chrome/Chromium? I was using Chromium at first but when the
issue started I switched to Chrome which did also have the same
problem. I have not tried using Firefox for an extended amount
of time to see if that also has this. If I kill all instances of
Chrome/Chromium it will connect to google again but after a few
hours the issue comes back where it will not search/connect to
google.com. You do have to make sure you kill all instances of
chrome/chromium for that temporary fix to work. On a permanent
fix I have no idea at this point.<br>

Hi all. Sorry to have missed meetings and not been in contact so
it's a bit awkward asking for help. But I will!<br>
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on an acer laptop. Until a few weeks
ago all things google worked fine and it was my primary search
engine. It started slowing down trying to connect to google.com,
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.google.com"
moz-do-not-send="true">www.google.com</a>, <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.google....you"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.google....you</a> get the
idea. Eventually, about 2 weeks ago it just stopped connecting
at all. So:<br>
<br>
I checked every forum and help page I could find. I changed DNS
servers to open DNS, googleDNS, changed all configuration files
to reflect those changes, many command line instructions and on
and on. None of the Solved marked issues solved my problem even
though the symptoms were the same.<br>
I run 2 VMs, Ubuntu 16.10 and FreeBSD. Both of those machines
can use google as normal. that seems weird to me.<br>
I can load something like groups.google.com and then chose apps
like gmail, drive, photos and several others but not calendar or
maps (which is what I really want). I can use all those apps on
the VMs though. <br>
In 16.04 no browser loads google. com<br>
I can ping google.com with no packet loss.<br>
I'm stumped.<br>
Help?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Brian<br>
