Meaning

This page appears when the operating system reports no active connection, or a network adapter, VPN, firewall or proxy setting blocks everything. It usually has nothing to do with the website. Check Wi-Fi/Ethernet first, then VPN and proxy settings, then adapter drivers.

Common causes

  • Wi-Fi or Ethernet disconnected, or airplane mode on
  • Router or modem offline
  • VPN or security software blocking all traffic
  • Broken proxy settings pointing to a dead proxy
  • Network adapter disabled or driver problem

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Check that Wi-Fi/Ethernet is connected and airplane mode is off
  2. Restart the router and your device
  3. Turn off VPN/proxy and test again

Detailed fix by platform

Windows

  1. Reset the stack from an admin terminal: netsh winsock reset then netsh int ip reset then restart
  2. Settings → Network & Internet → Network reset if it persists

Chrome

  1. Settings → System → Open your computer's proxy settings and make sure no proxy is set unless you need one

How to diagnose

  1. Scope — Does any other app or device get online?
  2. Router — Is the router working?
  3. VPN — Does it work with VPN and proxy off?
