# Fix APIPA (veth)
## Problem
On Debian 11, when:
1. Using docker containers that use the `host` network mode.
2. `PreferredTechnologies` is set to `ethernet,[...]` in `/etc/connman/main.conf`.
- This may not be a problem when ethernet is plugged in, not just wifi.
The system **uses a veth interface** to connect to the internet, which uses an APIPA (169.254.*.*) IP address, so the system can only contact devices on the LAN.
## Solution
Edit `/etc/connman/main.conf` and uncomment the line `# NetworkInterfaceBlacklist = vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb,ve-,vb-`
Result:
```conf
NetworkInterfaceBlacklist = vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb,ve-,vb-
```
