MacOS Sequoia installed. Internet will randomly drop connection

I have a an M2 Max Macbook Pro with 32Gb of RAM. I installed MacOS Sequoia today. After installation, I started getting intermittent random internet connection/server busy messages on a black screen and this will go on for say 30 seconds or more and then randomly it will be back to normal again.

I have restarted the macbook pro. I have restarted the docking station. I have removed the ethernet cable connected and reconnected it after restarting the docking station. I still get the same problem showing up randomly.

Any suggestions?

I've had problems, both on my M2 MacBook Air and my iPhone 15. From what I can tell, these new OS releases interfere broadly with a number of applications, as well—in my case—my eero router. I can't use Proton VPN or Tailscale without losing connectivity completely.

What a disappointing mess of a release from Apple.

Anyone using Handbrake? Transcoding videos completely breaks the internet connection now on that Mac, doesn’t matter if WiFi or wired…

Disable firewall in Network>Firewall and test. No more errors so far. (I was unable to open this page as well until Firewall been disabled).

No, the problem is using these public vpn things. They fool you into a false sense of security, then they get you to blame Apple.

Public VPN are anything but private

I feel your pain! I can’t use my MacBook for work anymore because of this issue. I had to switch computers. So frustrating!

Unfortunately I have my MacBook trusted on my work network through InTune so I can’t disable the security otherwise I’m out of compliance and lose access.

I have also found that Wifi is the only way that I can get a reliable internet connection.
