I have no idea why this is happening on my arch linux machine. I was trying to set it up as a client device, and now i have no internet connection on my wired network. This is bare metal not docker. I just wanted to add the device to my tailnet.
Any help is appreciated
Thank you for your time.
EDIT: I have completely uninstalled tailscale yet I still do not have internet access. I am connected to the network fine. If i cinnect through wifi it is the same result.
EDIT 2: the error I am recieving is limited connectivity.

If you try to ping 8.8.8.8 and it works, then try to ping google.com. if that doesn’t work, it’s your DNS resolver. I’m not an arch user, but on a lot of Linuxes, there’s a nameserver setting somewhere that has come unset. Try to set it to the IP address of your home router, that may fix it. P.S. The guy who posted the “It’s always DNS” shirt is right. I am buying that shirt.
DNS?
Correction: you messed up your internet connection
Very helpful and enlightening comment, without this guidance I was lost.
You’ll fit right in, 'round here.
e: saw you go it fixed, congrats. It’s always DNS
Tailscale edits /etc/resolv.conf, since your DNS isn’t working start by making sure that file is how the archwiki suggests rather than what tailscale changes it to.
An uninstalled tailscale may still have left that file modified.
