This error message appears due to system misconfiguration or problems with the DNS. DNS, or Domain Name System, is responsible for internet traffic, directing users and connecting domain names with real web servers. When you enter a URL in the web browser, the DNS works right away to connect and translate the URL to an address that computers understand: the IP address. This process is called the DNS name resolution.<br><br>No matter how frustrating the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error is, know that it\u2019s pretty simple to get it resolved. Flushing your DNS cache, trying other DNS servers, disabling your antivirus, clearing browser cache, or renewing your IP can hopefully get you up and surfing the web in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frustrated-Young-Woman-Looking-at-Laptop.webp\" alt=\"DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN \" class=\"wp-image-10443\" style=\"width:509px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frustrated-Young-Woman-Looking-at-Laptop.webp 960w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frustrated-Young-Woman-Looking-at-Laptop-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Frustrated-Young-Woman-Looking-at-Laptop-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_the_DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN_Error\"><\/span>How to Fix the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN Error<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flush_the_DNS\"><\/span>Flush the DNS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The trick is often done by flushing DNS cache, which essentially restarts the cached information of the domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <kbd>Windows<\/kbd> + <kbd>R<\/kbd> to open the Run dialog box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type cmd and with <kbd>Ctrl<\/kbd> + <kbd>Shift<\/kbd> pressed, press <kbd>Enter<\/kbd>.
