Almost certainly a dns problem. Check your adguard config.

How do i check it? I tried to but it didn't show much.

I don’t use adguard, but fundamentally you need to make sure openwrt (at the system level) has the ability to perform dns resolution.

How do I do that ? >.< I must sound like a complete newbie to you guys but i need all the help I can get.

6

You must have followed some AGH install guide ?

7

Yes youtube is there a better way to install adguardhome so it won't interfere with openwrt downloading packages? I'm uninstalling it now though since it is doing this.

8

well nevermind that didn't fix it still getting Failed to send request: Operation not permitted
when i try to download package or update

You'll need to back track the YT video you followed, or reset your device.

But I can imagine there's a fw rule stopping DNS requests from going out, or upstream DNS is set to 127.0.0.1.

here's an extensive how to - [How-To-Updated 2021] Installing AdGuardHome on OpenWrt [Manual and opkg method]

Hi

few basic check from CLI/SSH...

ping -c 3 -4 downloads.openwrt.org
ping -c 3 -6 downloads.openwrt.org
nslookup downloads.openwrt.org

please paste here the output of above commands

12 
ping: bad address 'downloads.openwrt.org'
ping: bad address 'downloads.openwrt.org'

nslookup: write to '127.0.0.1': Connection refused
nslookup: write to '::1': Connection refused
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

But he didnt do anything special in the video

14

hmmm
clearly a DNS problem
maybe the best solution is to start from factory reset
then take step by step of configuring your device
after every step, try to ping/dns
when ping/dns stop to work, you will know where you did wrong :slight_smile:

15

So I went to dnsmasq stopped it and now i can ping.. weird..

16

try doing the echo below, then the ping again afterwards.

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf

this is only temp though, next time you restart the router, this config will be gone again, you need to fix it in the DNS config.
