dns_probe_finished_nxdomain

Hello Diana,

If you could not fix the issue, the steps I am mentioning will help you fix it. If you already fixed it, I hope it will help out other people who are facing similar error every day.

So the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN is the DNS error faced by mostly Chrome users. You can fix it just by changing DNS server address in your active network connection.

1. Go to Network connection properties.

2. Select the option which is about IPv4 and then go to its properties.

3. Change DNS to 8.8.8.8 (preferred) and 8.8.4.4 (alternate).

It should be fixed now. If not, then I will suggest you try other solutions like Flush Cache, Reset Chrome etc. depending on your device whether it is Windows or Mac.

You can refer this article -

Error “DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN” when opening the links in Windows 10

I am sharing two more methods and it might help:

In the Windows command prompt type ipconfig / flushdns. This will clear DNS cache and then try.

One more thing restart the DNS client service from the service list.

you can also check this article for all the methods suggest one by one.
