Hello
I have been struggling for days to get internet access in my jails. I wanted to use Bastille for creating jails (after manually creating one without). I followed quite a lot of tutorials step for step on setting up a jail, which seemed so easy, and yet I always ended up not being able to reach the internet from inside the jail.
I would try to install a package, but first had to install pkg, which always gave this error:
The solution was changing the value in /etc/resolv.conf in the jail: from the localhost ip
Then I exited the jail, and from the host restarted the jail. Since I am using bastille I used the following command
Then I could log into the jail again via:
and then I would get the following running
I am new to freeBSD, and I definitely have a lot more to learn about networking.
I just wanted to share in case, someone like me will stumble upon the same problem.
And if you sit with an explanation for why it works like this, or why it went bad for me, I would love to understand. And the same if you have a suggestion for networking101 which has been helpful to you.
All the best to you all, and thanks to the devs at freeBSD and bastille <3
