Check Firewall and Antivirus Settings:
Sometimes, firewall or antivirus software can block DNS requests. Ensure that these programs are not preventing your browser from accessing the internet.
Restart Your Device:
Simply restarting your computer or device can resolve various temporary issues, including DNS errors.
If you've followed these steps and the issue persists, it may be worth contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for further assistance. They may be experiencing larger network issues or can provide additional troubleshooting steps.
