    Re: How to Fix DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN Error?

    The real problem arises when a person feeds in the URL in their browsers; it is up to DNS to search the server with the appropriate IP address of the server. While in a general case, the searching process redirects to the target site, but on DNS failing, this will result in errors. This is when a browser flashes up the message “DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN” error.

    Breaking up the message, NXDOMAIN, is the acronym for Non-Existent Domain. The error is very frequent in occurrence and there are working solutions for the same. Usually, different browsers offer various solutions, which work according to the server connection. For instance, in Google Chrome a message reading, “The Site can’t be reached” is flashed.

    It might be also possible that in hurry you have typed the incorrect URL on the browser’s address bar. which leads to the browser being unable to connect a correct IP address in DNS.

    If you have typed the correct URL but still encounter the error again, there might be an issue with the domain that you are trying to access.

    To check whether your internet configuration or browser is the main culprit or not. Try accessing the same webpage from a different browser, with different internet connectivity, or from a completely whole different system.

    Sometimes, Chrome Browser gives out an error message reading ‘This Webpage is Not Available’ due to DNS PROBE FINISHED NXDOMAIN
    error. You will find below the steps to fix this error on your computer.

    When you try to access a website by typing its name, the web browser on your computer takes the help of the DNS Server to find the IP Address of the website that you are trying to access.

    As soon as the terminal opens up, type ‘services.MSC’ will immediately lead to the local Services Page. Once on the page, the user will search the ‘DNS client’ option, where on a right-click, there will be an option to restart, which is to be exercised. By performing the function, the cache files in DNS names will be refreshed and the errors might be removed.
