New user networkproblem

This is about Mx Linux 23.1_64 Libretto with kernel 6.1.0-16-amd64
I created a new user and deleted the old on my second laptop. Everything went well of course but after reinstalling Firefox the networkmanager says Im connected to either wifi or wired,but the new user doesnt seem allowed to use the net.
I cant ping anything, or paste Quick system information here. I uninstalled Firefox since I thought it was the culprit and cant reinstall it though I seem connected.
My new user doesnt seem to have the right permissions somehow.
Where can I check that?

I fixed it myself by going through system services and found that the old user had used a vpn-service that obviously blocked this new user from the net since the new user didnt log in to it and it.
