Modern Android OS versions restrict access to /proc/net. You need to root your device to use ifconfig now.

That's a won'tfix as Termux can't overcome the SELinux restrictions.

Access to /proc/net was restricted because it allows any application to read the list of IPs/domains you visiting and send this data to third-parties. So that's a privacy hole and Android 10+ has fixed it.
