[SOLVED] R can't access to the internet on user level but on sudo level

R can't access to the internet on user level but on sudo level

As described, I tried install.packages(), getURL() as well as other several internet related fucntions, all failed to access to internet (no matter in commandline or RStudio). However, if I do system("ping 1.1.1.1"), it does transmit packages. On the other side, using sudo su and then R can access to the internet without any problem. So I only can install packages on sudo level.

Also tried switching to phone hotspot network, failed as well.

No proxy enabled.

R version: 4.2.0 System: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit

Edit: connection error shows below:

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
