I have installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 16.04
while being connected to the internet.
As many websites are filtered by my ISP
, I am using a pptp VPN
service.
Problem is that many sites which were filtered before are now accessible, while many others sites like Youtube
... are still out of reach.
I suspected my DNS
might have problems, therefore I added prepend domain-name-servers my-ISP-DNS1, my-ISP-DNS2;
to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
, installed nscd
and restarted it but no positive results I earned. The following is the contents of /etc/network/interfaces
:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
And my /etc/resolv.cong
only contains 127.0.0.1
as NameServer address.
This is also ifconfig
command's output:

Would you help me figure out what the problem might be with my installation?
ip address show
command after activating the vpn I saw the following interface being shown:8: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1400 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN group default qlen 3 link/ppp inet 168.158.28.75 peer 80.84.49.159/32 scope global ppp0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
. What is it and why is itNOARP
instead of beingARP
?
