Can a VPN Cause DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN?

Yes A VPN can create dns_probe_finished_nxdomain errors because it alters DNS configurations and leads traffic to unreliable server names. Various solutions exist for this issue which I will outline below.

1. Disconnect the VPN and reload the page.
2. Switch to a different VPN server.
3. Manually set DNS (e.g., Google DNS).

Your VPN provider could have DNS leaks if the problem continues to
appear.
