I also cant ping my gateaway ^^Same Message

Any help is appreciated
 
If you cannot ping any IP addresses, then DNS is not the problem since it is only used for resolving names.
Can you post the output of the following commands?

Code:
ip a
cat /etc/network/interfaces

What kind of network setup do you have? Is this a server at home or at a datacenter?

PS: Please post output in [CODE]tags so you can read them more easily

Code:
root@proxmox:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# network interface settings; autogenerated
# Please do NOT modify this file directly, unless you know what
# you're doing.
#
# If you want to manage parts of the network configuration manually,
# please utilize the 'source' or 'source-directory' directives to do
# so.
# PVE will preserve these directives, but will NOT read its network
# configuration from sourced files, so do not attempt to move any of
# the PVE managed interfaces into external files!

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto enp4s0
iface enp4s0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.2.188/24
        gateway 62.155.243.81
        bridge-ports enp4s0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

Its a server at home btw.
 
Are you sure this is the proper gateway? Shouldn't this be the router in your case? (192.168.2.1 - my guess)
