5 solutions to fix 'DNS_Probe_Finished_Bad_Config' error in Chrome browser

The "DNS_Probe_Finished_Bad_Config" error and "DNS_Probe_Finished_Nxdomain" error are errors related to DNS configuration. If this error occurs, DNS (Domain Name System) cannot access the website you requested.

In most cases, usually in Home Network or Public Network, IP and DNS address (settings) are automatically assigned when your device (computer, computer, or mobile device, .) Connected to the Router. In the network environment settings (IP & DNS address) are manually assigned by the Admin.

On Chrome browser: " This webpage is not available. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG " or " DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN ".
