I'm a bit perplexed.  I run Kodi on an Ubuntu 16.04 box.  The Ubuntu box connects to the local network with a wired connection and works just fine.  I remotely administer it with SSH and X2GO from another PC on the network.  Firefox on the Ubuntu box connects to the internet without issue and system commands like apt-get happily do too.  However, when I launch Kodi, it is unable to connect to the internet.  Scrapers fail unable to connect.  I cannot download any mods from the repositories, etc.  It behaves as though it has no network access.

The information shown in System Info--Network is foreign.  The MAC address is all zeroes and the IP is 10.8.2.166.  The machine's actual IP is in the 192.168 block.  The gateway is listed as 10.8.2.165 and DNS is local loopback at 127.0.0.1.  I don't know where these numbers are coming from.  They aren't coming from the router, as my external addresses are in the 70.x range.  I only have one physical ethernet adaptor and ifconfig doesn't show any additional logical ones.  I cannot find a place in Kodi to configure network adapters or settings specifically for Kodi.

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

Some external devices set up a separate network, but I would expect ifconfig -a to show that up.

whate does route -n show?

It shows a problem... I'm gonna guess that tun0 is my Yamaha Receiver that the box connects to the TV through.  There is no tuner card or anything in the box. How do I get rid of tun0 and its entries?  Or at least set Kodi to use eth0?

EDIT: Turns out that tun0 is a network tunnel for openvpn... not sure why Firefox and everything else finds the internet without issue but Kodi seems stuck.
