Resolve DNS Errors on Google Chrome
Ever try loading a webpage and get greeted with a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
or ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
? This is actually a DNS issue that could be resolved on the OS side.
On Windows, find and run services.msc
then look for "DNS Client". Right click the item and hit "Restart". Later make sure you fully close out of Chrome and reopen the webpage.
While on Linux (Ubuntu/Debian at least), you should be able to restart the DNS server by running service bind9 restart
.
