Hello @eringaffney16

I would like to give you the recommendation to support you.

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN can happen for several reasons:

  • A web browser cannot locate the target website because the domain is not registered or has expired.
  • The domain is not pointing to any IP address.
  • There is a misconfiguration in the DNS settings of the user’s computer, so it cannot resolve the domain.
  • A VPN or antivirus software interferes with the network settings.
  • The issue comes from the internet provider.

On Google Chrome, you will see a message that says This site can’t be reached if you are experiencing the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error. Other browsers will have their own messages, which we will show at the end of this tutorial.

Here are two methods to check the reason behind DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN:

  1. Check if Domain Is Active

  2. Test the Website via a Proxy Server

As the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error may show up due to issues with the website, the client’s computer, or the internet connection, the solution will naturally depend on this root cause.

Let’s look at the 9 ways to fix the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error message:

  1. Flush the DNS Cache

  2. Release and Renew the IP Address

  3. Change the DNS Servers

  4. Restart the DNS Client Service

  5. Check the Local Hosts File

  6. Reset Chrome Flags

  7. Disable Antivirus or VPN

  8. Temporarily Turn Off Your CDN

  9. Reboot Internet Connection
