Connection Interrupted: ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED Error

The ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED error indicates that your device’s network configuration has changed, interrupting the internet connection. This typically happens when network settings are altered or the connection is temporarily lost, preventing the browser from accessing the resource properly.

Causes of ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED

  • IP Address Change: When your device obtains a new IP address (for instance, if you switch Wi-Fi networks), the browser may lose its connection to the server.
  • Router Restart or Failure: Rebooting or issues with the router can cause a temporary network disconnection.
  • VPN or Proxy Issues: If you use a VPN or proxy server, changes to their settings can also disrupt your connection.
  • Network Updates or Maintenance: Your internet provider might temporarily adjust network settings, leading to connectivity changes.

How to Fix ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED

  1. Restart Your Device and Router: Power off your device and router for a few minutes, then turn them back on. This often restores a stable connection.
  2. Disconnect and Reconnect to the Network: Manually disconnect from Wi-Fi or Ethernet, then reconnect.
  3. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Connection issues can sometimes be related to cache problems. Clear your browser data and restart it.
  4. Check VPN or Proxy Settings: If you’re using a VPN or proxy, disable it temporarily and try accessing the site again.
  5. Update Network Adapter Drivers: Outdated drivers can cause network problems. Update them through your device settings.

What to Do If the Issue Persists

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, consider contacting your internet provider’s technical support, as the problem may be related to network settings or temporary service interruptions on their end.

We hope these tips help you fix the ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED error and restore a stable connection.
