Problem with local network in termux

I bought new phone and I started installing applications from previous device. When I installed termux I tried to copy ssh keys and ssh config from previous installation.

This is where problems started. I could not reach any local address. Nothing in 10.x.x.x was working. No pings no ssh.

I could do that to public IPs just fine.

I tried to install new version of packages but it also did not work.

Termux already was at latest version, because it was just installed. Permissions for full network access was also fine.

I installed Graphene OS for first time and I tried to search anything relevant to similar issues regarding Termux on this system.

Nothing. Only results were some firewall settings on linux.

I though that maybe new version of termux is buggy somehow so I compared old phone termux version and on new phone.

Old phone had F-droid version when on new phone I installed it from Play store via Aurora.

Then I remembered having similar issues before, year or two ago. Seems like Play Store version is somehow buggy or changed to adhere some Google rules.

Anyway if you will not able to connect to local address via SSH or you will see something like:

ping: (sendmesg) operation not permitted

Install termux from f-droid instead.

If this will be still possible after 30th of September 2026.
