Hey Guys? I am facing error DNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_NXDOMAIN in my Chrome web browser. After watching this error message, the browser stops responding and crashes all the active tabs without giving any warning message. The error DNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_NXDOMAIN in the Chrome browser is quite effective so that I want to fix it as early as possible. Please help me to resolve this issue. ---

Hi harryjosh Welcome to IW forums What IW-CP, distro and server type are you using I would think without more detail, that looks likely to either the DNS is controlled elsewhere or you have too many redirects in place Many thanks John ---

Hi! I experienced this problem also. When it appears, its due to a bad configuration of the DNS and gateways of your PC. Here you have a list of things that you should check when you have this DNS error: Free and Renew IP Address Restart DNS Client Service Change DNS Servers Reset Chrome Flags Temporarily Disable VPN and Antivirus Review your Local Host Files Check Your Domain’s DNS Restart Your Computer I hope it helps you to fix it! ---

Welcome! Cell phones are pretty locked down so unless its rooted your likely not going to be able to change the DNS server settings for your cell carrier connection. You can for you home wifi though. The following looks right. However if you let us know the domain that is not resolving we can take a look and try to figure out what is wrong. If the issue is the DNS service settings you can likely change your connection to fix it, if wifi disable wifi to see if you cells DNS settings work, if your on cell see if a wifi works. If both are having issues then its likely an issue with the DNS settings for the domain your trying to navigate to. > **[How to Change DNS Server on Android](https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/features/how-to-change-dns-server-on-android-1672117)** > > Changing the DNS can sometimes resolve issues with your connection, along with other benefits. This is how it works. ---
