\nOnly a few months later, but Ubuntu started using netplan instead of the usual ifup\/ifconfig commands I’m used to. Now it’s yaml.

*** EDIT 2022-12-02 ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently this changed in Ubuntu 20.04 (although it still supported the “old way”), but in 22.04 I could not get netplan to support my use of the gateway4 option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve left the old style commented out, but the new way of using only routes for this purpose works well and opens up the idea of multiple gateways or static routes from a single system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
