Doesn't connect to the internet about lokinet

I posted yesterday in Discussions about this too. I'm on Linux Mint with same problem.

I've also tried to make it work on Ubuntu and Windows 11. None are working for exit nodes.

Hopefully we get answers here.

got my problem kinda solved by checking new and new nodes. finally found one, which is working, but so slowly that it is impossible to use it. i don't know if i am doing something wrong or if it's just the lokinet so slow. you can buy loki exit node for 1$ here and check if it helps (i have no money bruh): https://www.privacyproshop.com/product/lokinet-exit-node-access-code-60-day/

Yes I also believe it is just over loaded free exit nodes. The problem with paying for exit nodes, removes the privacy that Lokinet offers. I guess a user could pay with Monero, but I don't have Monero. From my understanding Monero is most likely the safest privacy crypto, so I should look into it.

I purchased an exit node.

Still not working for me.

I rebooted my computer to make sure there was no conflict in ram and such.

It worked. I marked my Discussion Answered.

I no longer think it's a bug. It must be the free node is just too busy.

I'm going to keep my thread updated if anything changes.

It didn't last very long. Not working again.

I'm on Linux Mint with same problem.

Did you get the binary, or compile Lokinet? I am also running Linux Mint ("uname -p" = "x86_64"); I was unable to get the binary, so I successfully compiled it following these instructions: https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet/blob/dev/docs/install.md . However, now I have various problems: no lokinet.service ("systemctl status lokinet"); cannot ping exit.loki or euroexit.loki even after adding "nameserver 127.3.2.1" to "/etc/resolv.conf" and running "lokinet &"; and various warning-tagged lines in the log of "lokinet &". (I could go into more detail on the previous text.) Lokinet worked better on Ubuntu, but I wish it also worked on Linux Mint 21.1 (vera).

Update 1: don't know why my build/compilation on Linux Mint didn't have that .service file, but here is "/lib/systemd/system/lokinet.service" from Ubuntu:

Update 2...

• Negative: I copied /lib/systemd/system/lokinet.service from Ubuntu to the same path in Linux Mint. I then modified the text file, pasted different paths to match with Linux Mint files and folders. However, it still did not work as a daemon at all ("sudo systemctl [start/restart] lokinet").
• Positive: I ran "sudo setcap all=+eip /path/to/lokinet" which enabled lokinet to create a network interface (run "ifconfig"). I don't think it could make any network interface before (now it makes "lokitun0"). After running "lokinet 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &" I can successfully ping and curl nemo.loki ( http://rtuxk1ikpad3djinfuyoidoyp8q5sbi93ae4rxiymyb3ucx3bbyy.loki ).
• Negative: could not ping or curl 4 exits nodes. These ones: http://exit.loki , http://exit2.loki , http://euroexit.loki , and http://door.loki .

A few weeks ago it didn't work. After a PC reset and a few weeks I decided to give it a new try. Still doesn`t work. The biggest problem is that it says it is connected but internet is not working. I am on Windows 11.
