Server/HTPC/Seedbox - Network stops working after some days

Hello everyone,

I have a Servers/HTPC/Seedbox (All-In-One) that runs 24/7 connected via LAN+WLAN.

- It has dnscrypt (with its dnscache enabled) running.
- qBittorrent with ~800 torrents and 4TB data
- mpv server
- Teamviewer
- GNOME in a minimized version (skipped all the non-required and useless packages)

Now for a few months already the server stops having and internet connection after some time.
I hoped that it was a bug/problem with a package and that a future update would fix this.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Any suggestions where to start looking/troubleshooting first?
I thought disabling dnscrypt+dnscaching might be a start.

Thanks!

Re: Server/HTPC/Seedbox - Network stops working after some days

As always, look for the logs from your journal, check your pacman.log for any possible change in critical packages, check your network manager  status, if any, with `systemctl status ...`.

When the internet connection stops, are you able to ping remote addresses or the link falls down altogether? Does your machine keep an IP address?
