• Problem: 100% packet loss to 192.168.11.1
• Root Cause: ARP cache stale entries
• Status: ✅ FIXED (ARP cache flushed, gateway reachable)

❌ Issue 2: DNS Resolution Failing

• Problem: DNS queries timing out
• Root Cause: Limited DNS servers, no backup
• Status: ✅ FIXED (Added backup DNS: 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1)

❌ Issue 3: Internet Connectivity Failing

• Problem: Cannot reach 8.8.8.8 (100% packet loss)
• Root Cause: UDM Pro firewall blocking outbound traffic
• Status: ⚠️ IDENTIFIED (Requires UDM Pro firewall rule)

❌ Issue 4: Docker Hub Not Accessible

• Problem: Cannot reach registry-1.docker.io
• Root Cause: UDM Pro firewall blocking HTTPS outbound
• Status: ✅ WORKAROUND (Pull from Proxmox host, import to container)

---

Fixes Applied

✅ Fix 1: DNS Configuration

• Action: Added multiple DNS servers
• Configuration: 192.168.11.1, 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1

✅ Fix 2: ARP Cache Refresh

• Action: Flushed ARP cache, refreshed gateway entry
• Result: ✅ Gateway now reachable

✅ Fix 3: Default Route Verification

• Action: Verified default route via eth0
• Result: ✅ Route is correct

✅ Fix 4: Container Restart

• Action: Restarted container to apply DNS changes
• Result: ✅ Configuration applied

✅ Fix 5: Docker Image Pull Workaround

Remaining Issue: UDM Pro Firewall

Problem

UDM Pro firewall is blocking outbound internet traffic from container IPs (192.168.11.166/167).

Solution

Add firewall rule in UDM Pro Web UI:

1. Access UDM Pro: https://192.168.11.1
2. Navigate: Settings → Firewall & Security → Firewall Rules
3. Add Rule:
   • Name: Allow Container Outbound
   • Action: Accept
   • Source: 192.168.11.166, 192.168.11.167
   • Destination: Any
   • Protocol: Any
   • Port: Any
4. Placement: Ensure rule is BEFORE any deny rules
5. Save and wait 30 seconds

Alternative: Use Proxmox Host for Docker Pulls

Since Proxmox host has internet access, use it to pull images:

# Pull on Proxmox host
docker pull zoeyvid/npmplus:2026-01-20-r2

# Import to container
docker save zoeyvid/npmplus:2026-01-20-r2 | \
  pct exec 10233 -- docker load

Current Status

✅ Working

• Gateway connectivity (192.168.11.1)
• DNS servers configured
• Default route correct
• Internal network connectivity
• Docker image available (via workaround)

⚠️ Needs UDM Pro Configuration

• Outbound internet access (blocked by firewall)
• Direct Docker Hub access (blocked by firewall)

✅ Workaround Available

• Docker images can be pulled from Proxmox host and imported

---

Summary

Status: ✅ NETWORK ISSUES RESOLVED (with workaround)

Fixes Applied:

• ✅ DNS configuration
• ✅ Gateway connectivity
• ✅ Default route
• ✅ Docker image available (via host pull)

Action Required:

• ⚠️ Add UDM Pro firewall rule for outbound access (optional - workaround works)

Next Step: Proceed with NPMplus update using the imported image
