Ever since I made my Pi headless, and connected it to my laptop through Ethernet, I haven't been able to connect to the internet.

I followed this tutorial: https://pihw.wordpress.com/guides/direct-network-connection/

Using it I made my ethernet IP static, I can log into the pi from my laptop using SSH on that IP.

When I type hostname -I I get the following:169.254.20.92 169.254.20.92 10.111.94.245 10.111.6.112

My Ethernet settings are as follows:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 169.254.20.92
  netmask 255.255.255.0

I don't know what the issue is, I've looked through other tutorials and troubleshooters, nothing seems to be working.

There are many issues with your configuration which I do not have time to explain. See How do I set up networking/WiFi/Static IP to explore some options.

The MAJOR issue is that you have specified a link-local address which is not routable i.e it only works over a single link.

If you have a router connect the Pi to this.
