ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED error macbook pro - google-chrome

ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED
Hide details
If you use a proxy server…
Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure that the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to Applications > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and deselect any proxies that have been selected.
I cleared cache, restarted computer, reinstalled Chrome a few times, cleaned computer;
_ I TRY WITH 4 VPN (HOTSPOT SHIELD ,EXPREES VPN, OPENVPN, .....)
_ I don't have any proxies checked in Settings > Network > Network > Advanced > Proxies;
The same problem happens with different Internet connections (work, home, etc).
What is interesting in Private Mode everything's okay.
Any suggestions how to fix that? I only found solutions for Windows, there's nothing regarding Mac (macOS Bigsur).

Can't access internet with Chrome, Firefox after Win 10 upgrade, Edge works fine though

After installing google chrome(version 75.0.3770.100) in windows 10(update 7/7/2019), I lost Internet connection.
The error is:
The DNS server isn't responding.
I tried to solve it but it was not successfull. for example in CMD:
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
But when I remove google chrome from Windows 10, Internet connects again!!!
I do not no why! It's very strange!
How can I solve this problem, while keeping chrome?
Have you tried changing both ipv4 and ipv6 dns to:
The Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
The Google Public DNS IPv6 addresses are as follows:
2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844
If changing that DNS solves the problem, you have to call you internet company and tell the problem, or change internet company. (if you don't want to use google dns)
Try the following possible solutions:
Change The DNS Server
If there is a problem with your IP DNS server, you can try to change your DNS server to Google's Public DNS, a free alternative Domain Name System (DNS) service offered to Internet users around the world. The public DNS service and servers are maintained and owned by Google. It functions as a recursive name server providing domain name resolution for any host on the Internet. You will have to change the DNS manually, and we show you how.
To change your DNS server to Google's DNS server, go to your Network Connections settings. Right-click the Start menu and select "Network Connections", or go to Settings and click" Network & Internet".change dns server
Change dns server step 1
In the Network & Internet settings window, select your connection type (in our case, "Ethernet") on the left pane and then click "Change adapter options" on the right pane.
Change dns server step 2
Right-click on your connection and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu.
Change dns server step 3
Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click "Properties".
Change dns server step 4
In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window, select "Use the following DNS server addresses", enter 8.8.8.8 as the "Preferred DNS server" and 8.8.4.4 as the "Alternate DNS server". Click "OK" to save changes and check if this helps to fix the problem with the "DNS server is not responding" error.
Change dns server step 5
Disable IPv6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet. IPv6 was developed to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion. Disabling the IPv6 feature might help to fix the "DNS server is not responding" error.
The easiest way to disable IPv6 on the Windows operating system is via the Network and Sharing Center. To open it, go to Control Panel and click "View network status and tasks" under "Network and Internet".
Disable ipv6 step 1
Click your connection (in our case, "Ethernet").
Disable ipv6 step 2
In your connection status window, click "Properties".
Disable ipv6 step 3
In your connections properties window, find "Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)" and unmark the checkbox to disable it. Click "OK" to save changes and see if this helps to fix the "DNS server is not responding" error.
Disable ipv6 step 4
Reset Your Router
Simply restarting your router or modem may help to fix this problem. We suggest you try this possibility first. If there is an "On/Off" button on your router, simply press it to turn off your router, wait a while, and then turn it on again. If there is no button on your router, disconnect it from power supply. When your router has restarted, try restarting your computer as well and see if this helps.
There might be a problem with your router configuration - this can also cause this "DNS server is not responding" error. To fix it, reset the router to its default settings. Open your router's configuration web page and find the "Reset" option. If you cannot access the router's web-based setup page and you want to reset the router to its default factory settings, press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds. Bear in mind that resetting your router to its default factory settings will also reset your router's password.
Enter MAC Address Manually
A Media Access Control address (MAC address) of a device is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications at the data link layer of a network segment. MAC addresses are used as a network address for most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi. MAC addresses are used in the media access control protocol sublayer of the OSI reference model. These MAC addresses are often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface controller and stored in its hardware such as the card's read-only memory or other firmware mechanism. To fix the "DNS server is not responding" error, you will need to enter the MAC address manually, but first you need to find it using an elevated Command Prompt and one of the commands.
Command Prompt is the input field in a text-based user interface screen, a command line interpreter application available in most Windows operating systems. It is used to execute entered commands, most of which are used to automate tasks through scripts and batch files, perform advanced administrative functions, troubleshoot and solve certain types of Windows issues. In the early days of computing, Command prompt used to be the only way to interact with the computer, so a basic set of commands with rigid syntax was developed to perform all system functions. Command Prompt's official name is Windows Command Processor but it is also sometimes called ​the command shell or cmd prompt, or even referred to by its filename cmd.exe.
To use Command Prompt, you must enter a valid command along with any optional parameters. It then executes the command as entered and performs its specific Windows task or function. Some commands available in Windows require that you run them from an elevated Command Prompt i.e. with administrator level privileges. The command we need to use requires an elevated Command Prompt to be opened with administrator privileges. To open elevated Command Prompt type "command prompt" in Search and right-click the "Command Prompt" result. Choose "Run as administrator" to run it with administrative privileges.
Enter Mac address manually step 1
When you select "Run as administrator", a User Account Control prompt will appear asking if you allow the Command Prompt to make changes to your computer. Click "Yes".
Enter Mac address manually step 2
Elevated Command Prompt will appear. In opened the Command Prompt window, type the "ipconfig /all" command and press Enter on your keyboard. You will see a list of information about the configuration. Find "Physical Address" and take a note of it somewhere - you will need it to proceed to the next step.
Enter Mac address manually step 3
Now that you have your MAC address, you can configure your network connection manually. To do so, Right-click on the Start menu and select "Network Connections", or go to Settings and click "Network & Internet".
Enter Mac address manually step 4
In the Network & Internet settings window, select your connection type (in our case, "Ethernet") on the left pane and then click on "Change adapter options" on the right pane.
Enter Mac address manually step 5
Right-click on your connection and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu.
Enter Mac address manually step 6
In the Properties window, select "Client for Microsoft Networks" (it should be selected automatically) and click "Configure".
Enter Mac address manually step 7
Now select the "Advanced" tab and then select "Network Address" under "Property:" Select "Value:" on the right pane and enter your MAC address (Physical Address), which you received when you entered the "ipconfig/ all" command in Command Prompt.
Enter Mac address manually step 8
Click "OK" to save the changes and see if this helps to fix the "DNS server is not responding" error. There is a higher chance that it will be fixed if you were using Google DNS before entering the MAC address manually.
Reset Your IP And Clear DNS Cache
This method includes entering and executing "netsh" and "ipcofig" commands into Command Prompt.
Netsh is a command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, display or modify the network configuration of a computer that is currently running. Netsh also provides a scripting feature that allows you to run a group of commands in batch mode against a specified computer.
Ipconfig is a command-line tool that displays the current configuration of the installed IP stack on a networked computer. Using tool, we can flush and reset the contents of the DNS client resolver cache and renew DHCP configuration.
The commands require an elevated Command Prompt opened with administrator privileges. To open elevated Command Prompt, type "command prompt" in Search and right-click on the "Command Prompt" result. Choose "Run as administrator" to run it with administrative privileges.
Reset ip and clear dns cache step 1
When you select "Run as administrator", a User Account Control prompt will appear asking if you allow the Command Prompt to make changes to your computer. Click "Yes".
Reset ip and clear dns cache step 2
Elevated Command Prompt will appear. In the Command Prompt window, type these commands:
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
Press Enter on your keyboard after entering each command. When all commands are executed, restart your computer and see if this helps to fix the "DNS server is not responding" error.
Start Your Computer In Safe Mode
Safe Mode is a diagnostic start-up mode in Windows operating systems used to obtain limited access to Windows when the operating system does not start or function normally. It is the opposite of Normal Mode, which starts Windows in the usual manner. Safe Mode is available on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and most older versions of Windows.
One of the most common steps when troubleshooting a computer is to boot into Safe Mode. Safe Mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It can help to troubleshoot problems on your computer. Read this article about how to boot your Windows 10 into Safe Mode.
Check if you are still having network connection problems when Windows starts in Safe Mode. If there are no problems with the network connection, you probably have third-party software installed in Windows that is causing the problem. Third-party applications can affect the DNS - almost any network-related or security application can interfere with your DNS, so find the problematic software and uninstall (or re-install) it.
Update Your Drivers
By update we mean that you should install the latest network adapter drivers on your computer. This problem might be caused by an old or incorrect driver. In this case, you need to get an updated/new driver for your network adapter. There is an easy way to do this automatically with Snappy Driver Installer. You will need a computer with a working internet connection in order to download it.
Snappy Driver Installer (SDI) is a powerful free driver updater tool for Windows that can store its entire collection of drivers offline. Having offline drivers gives Snappy Driver Installer the ability to have access to fast driver updates, even if there is no active internet connection. Snappy Driver works with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. Drivers are downloaded through Snappy Driver Installer in what are called driverpacks, which are just collections (packs) of drivers for various hardware like sound devices, video cards, network adapters etc. It can also show duplicate drivers and invalid drivers and it separates the updates that require you to restart your computer so it would be easier to distinguish them from the rest. You can download Snappy Driver Installer from here.
Update drivers step 1
After you have finished updating and installing drivers, restart Windows 10 for them to take effect and try to connect to the internet to see if it works.
You can also update your drivers manually, but you will need a computer with a working Internet connection. Go to the network adapter manufacturer's website and download the latest driver, copy it onto your USB drive. Go to Device Manager (type "device manager" in Search and open it). Expand the "Network adapters" section, select your network adapter, right-click on it, and then choose "Update Driver".
Update drivers step 2
You will be asked how do you want to search for drivers and given two options: 1) to search automatically for updated driver software, and; 2) to browse your computer for driver software. The first option requires an Internet connection. Since you have problems with your Internet connection, choose the second option. Locate the driver on your USB drive and follow the instructions.
Update drivers step 3
When you have finished installing the new/updated driver, restart your computer for the changes to take effect and see if the network connectivity problem is fixed.
Disable Your Antivirus
The "DNS server is not responding" error can occur due to installed antivirus software. Temporarily disabling it might help to fix the problem. If disabling the antivirus software fixes the problem, you might want to consider switching to a different antivirus program. This error usually occurs when you have installed third-party antivirus software, but you should not be concerned about your safety, since the built-in Windows Defender software should be adequate.
Disable Secondary Connections
If you have more than one network connection available on your computer, try disabling the other connections and leave only the current connection enabled. Go to Network Connection settings. Right-click the Start menu and select "Network Connections", or go to Settings and click "Network & Internet".
Disable secondary connections step 1
In the Network & Internet settings window, select your connection type (in our case, "Ethernet") on the left pane and then click "Change adapter options" on the right pane.
Disable secondary connections step 2
Right-click on the other connection and select "Disable" from the drop-down menu. Apply this to all secondary
Disable secondary connections step 3
Disable Windows Update Peer-to-peer Feature
Windows 10 has a new feature that helps to save download bandwidth. It is a new peer-to-peer (P2P) delivery update mechanism. Using the P2P option, you can download a Windows update once, and then use that machine to spread the update to all computers on your local network, you can also download Windows updates from other users in your area. This feature can interfere with the DNS, and disabling it might fix the "DNS server is not responding" error. To disable this feature, go to Settings and select "Update & Security".
Disable windows update peer to peer feature step 1
Locate "Advanced options" under "Update settings" and click it.
Disable windows update peer to peer feature step 2
In the Advanced options window, click "Delivery Optimization".
Disable windows update peer to peer feature step 3
In the Delivery Optimization window, turn off the "Allow downloads from other PCs" option by toggling the switch. Check if the "DNS server is not responding" error persists.
Disable windows update peer to peer feature step 4
We hope that the methods described above helped you to fix the "DNS server is not responding" error and you are now able to connect to the Internet without any network connection problems. If none of the above solutions worked, the error might be caused by your Internet service provider. Wait until your Internet service provider fixes the technical issues and try connecting to the internet after few hours.
Hope this helps pal. Greetings!

Chrome browser - Enable integrated windows authentication - auto logon

IIS 8.5 web server hosting a web application with its Site enabled for Windows authentication (Providers: Negotiate, NTLM), the web server is joined to corporate domain let's say domain.dom.
The web application hosted on this web server is reachable by the URL let's say https://hostname.lab.local and it is in the corporate Intranet.
Users's laptop (Windows S.O.) that need to access this page are also joined to domain.dom. I would like automatic access against the web page for these users. I was able to reach this with Firefox browser by setting these two parameters:
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris=https://hostname.lab.local
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris=https://hostname.lab.local
with Firefox, domain users, can login without providing any credential.
Now the issue comes with Chrome (ver 70.0.3538.67), the web site still prompt for user and password. Anyway if the domain user enters its credential manually, the job is done.
I followed lot of forums so i tried these configuration under Internet Settings, Chrome settings and so on, here some examples:
1) Added the URL https://hostname.lab.local under "Chrome > Settings > Advanced > Open Proxy Settings > Security (tab) > Local Intranet > Sites (button) > Advanced" and
2) tried editing the type of user authentication under Local Intranet>Custom Level with "automatic access in the Intranet area only" then "automatic access with current username and password"
3) I tried to do the same under Trusted Site
4) IWS is also enabled under Advanced>Security
These settings are well explained and shown at this link (i know that it's 7 years ago):
How to enable Auto Logon User Authentication for Google Chrome.
But with no luck.
I also tried launching Chrome with options (no luck):
Chrome.exe -auth-server-whitelist="hostname.lab.local" -auth-negotiate-delegatewhitelist="hostname.lab.local" -auth-schemes="digest,ntlm,negotiate"
Finally i tried with "Chrome policy templates" following these steps, again well explained in the previous provided link (this is a copy\paste):
1. Download and unzip the latest Chrome policy templates
2. Start > Run > gpedit.msc
3. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration >
Administrative Templates
4. Right-click Administrative Templates, and select Add/Remove Templates
5. Add the windows\adm\en-US\chrome.adm template via the dialog
6. In Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Classic
Administrative Templates > Google > Google Chrome > Policies for HTTP
Authentication enable and configure Authentication server whitelist
(hostname.lab.local added in the whitelist)
7. Restart Chrome and navigate to chrome://policy to view active policies
Anyway when i go to chrome://policy i cannot see the Chrome policy just created, even if i can see it under Local Computer Policy, strange isn't it?
All these configuration was performed under a domain joined laptop.
Would be great if someone can help me.

How to get Windows 10 Chrome to accept the self signed certificate generated by CUPS admin on Linux

I have a ClearOs Linux server which, amongst other things, runs a CUPS print server. Installing CUPS makes an admin interface available via https protocol.
Every time I connect to this admin server, Chrome (and IE) warns me the certificate is invalid, and I have to click twice more to go through to the site.
I would like to tell Chrome to trust this certificate. I have Googled how to do this, and tried 3 or 4 different recipes - none of them seem to have worked (the certificate is still not trusted). I have tried the following:
Connect to the site via IE running as Administrator, click on the invalid certificate flash next to the url, view certificate, install certificate, choose Trusted Root Certificate store, and install it. I also tried the Personal store and the Trusted publishers store.
Connect to the site via Chrome, click on the certificate and export it, do Settings/Advanced/Manage certificates, and import it into the store (again, I tried Trusted Root and Personal stores).
I also tried some other instructions which said to start by running "MMC" from the Windows Start button - but typing MMC only offers me Hyper-V manager and Sql Server 2017 Configuration Manager - not the management console expected.
I have read Getting Chrome to accept self-signed localhost certificate here, and tried everything there that applies to Windows 10, but nothing works.
Enter “chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost” in your chrome browser and “Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost.” to bypass the security warning about your self signed certificate.

How do you fix "Your connections isn’t private" when opening with the Google Chrome browser?

I'm debugging a local site.
I'm getting the following message in chrome.
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from t.buyamerica.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
This is not new, and normally I just click ADVANCED and Procced ...
but lately it just stuck in a loop and display the error message again.
This is a local site therefore the key-pair is indeed invalid, but is there a way to by-pass this issue without installing a proper https for all my local (vagrant based) servers?
NOTE:
The current by-pass for me is to use the same domain as the original site, so that the local site is www.somesite.com, and the actual site is somesite.com
I solved this issue as follow:
In
System Preference -> Network -> WiFi -> Advanced -> Proxies I saw that Secure Http Proxy (HTTPS) is checked and the value for the proxy is localhost:8888
I unchecked the Secure Http Proxy (HTTPS) and it seems to solve the issue.
NOTE: this is a specific MAC issue that apparently caused by a system upgrade (my current version is 10.10.5 (14F2511) Yosemite, MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012))
I never set a proxy server or run any proxy on localhost:8888
You change your local domain something like http://yourdomain.test.
Don't forget the 'http'. And if you're using .dev, change it to .test

localhost SSL not working in Google chrome

I am developing a website locally using wamp. The site uses ssl and works completely fine in firefox. In Google Chrome, I get an error:
https://example.local/ gives me this error
This webpage is not available
The connection to example.local was interrupted.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Check your Internet connection. Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using.
Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the wrench menu > Options > Under the Hood > Change proxy settings... > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.
http://example.local/ works fine in chrome.
I should note that in IE I get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage error, but again, it works fine in firefox...
Any help?
