  1. This is a user issue, not a Kali issue. Fix your DNS/internet.
  2. Stop using root.

Again, this has to do with you and your networking. Try:

  • ping 8.8.8.8
  • ping google.com
  • nslookup google.com

If the latter 2 commands fail, the issue is in your DNS. This is not a Kali issue but a user issue.

We have community support forums on https://forums.kali.org/, Discord chat at https://discord.kali.org/, and IRC with the #kali-linux channel on irc.oftc.net), please post your questions there.
