Oracle Cloud Free Tier - Unable to access from outside except through ssh

Valeriu MOTATUFeb 22 2025 — edited Feb 22 2025

Hi guys. First of all thank you in advance for any help.

Since 3 days ago, I am unable to access any of my instances except through ssh. I have 4 VM.Standard.A1.Flex of 1CPU/6GB instances in my account and I found all crashed on 20/02 morning. On each of them I have some Docker containers which are all working, and also from inside to outside, each instance has connectivity. I've searched a lot, done a lot of tests this days, even asked ChatGPT… :-D but none of this give to me any clue of what is happening.

Here are some tests:

ubuntu@instance-3:~$ ping -c 4 8.8.8.8

From inside all seems ok, however, none of them can be accessed from outside…

ubuntu@testing:~$ nc -zv 143.xx.xx.183 80
nc: connect to 143.xx.xx.183 port 80 (tcp) failed: No route to host
ubuntu@testing:~$ nc -zv 143.xx.xx.183 443
nc: connect to 143.xx.xx.183 port 443 (tcp) failed: No route to host

On this instance I've even deleted all containers and uninstalled Docker completely, delete Docker user/group, etc., updated the Ubuntu version to 24.04 (which worked without any struggle) and reinstalled Docker from scratch but nothing changed. Now I am completely stuck… ;-(

Can anyone enlighten me what can I do to solve the issue?
