ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
Temporarily Disable IPv6: Run:
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
Test browsing and downloading for 5-10 minutes. If the issue stops, make it permanent by editing GRUB and modify the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line to include ipv6.disable=1
sudo vi /etc/default/grub
...
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1"
...
sudo update-grub
Reboot and verify IPv6 is disabled:
ip a | grep inet6
No output means IPv6 is off.
