Internet not working

RSCarroll

Last night I had my Pixel 6a go through the Graphene update and everything was great. A couple hours ago my internet stopped working for one specific website (shokz.com) and it was giving the error "DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE". I primarily use the Brave Browser but I also tried it in Vanadium and Firefox and nothing. Then no websites were loading. I erased the cache for the browsers and Brave started loading pages again except for shokz.com but Vanadium wasn't loading anything. Other apps seemed to have connection just fine. Then nothing was loading on Brave again either and now I have zero internet connection on my phone with any app whether it be on WiFi, cellular, and with VPNs on or off. I should note that when I erased the cache for Vanadium, I also erased the cache for "Vanadium System WebView" as I just figured it was part of Vanadium Browser.

Any ideas or help?

This should point you towards the source of the issue. What Mythodical wrote is valid. If that doesn't help, check your DNS and you could briefly set it to Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 or Google 8.8.8.8 and check if the site works.

I finally just completely powered the phone off for like 10 minutes and when I powered it back on internet seems to working normal for everything except that one darn website (shokz.com). I guess to redirect the question a little bit, any idea as to why a particular credible site won't load on the device (in any browser I try)? The website has zero issues on my MacBook

RSCarroll It resolves for me. Is there any chance you're using a VPN or other DNS middleman (Adguard, pi-hole, etc.) which may have blocked the domain?

I use Proton VPN and that's all I use on my Pixel 6a, but when I turn it off that website still doesn't want to load.

How do I go about testing/setting my DNS to Cloudflare 1.1.1.1? In the phone settings I find the Private DNS option but it won't allow me to save when I enter 1.1.1.1 as the hostname and when I save it just as Cloudflare for the hostname all it does is interrupt the phone's internet

For Cloudflare use this:
one.one.one.one

unwat

I had issues after the update with my mobile connection. It worked with wifi and I saw no other reports of connectivity problems online so I assumed it was my mobile provider.

My phone's connectivity indicator was regular LTE+ but the signal meter thing had an explanation mark in it and no sites loaded, including for other profiles without the VPN.

I did end up fixing the problem by:

disconnecting from Proton VPN
remove/forget the VPN from internet settings
end user profile session
reset network settings from settings > system > reset options
restart

Everything worked after that.

That did it!

Is Cloudflare a solid DNS to just stick with or would you recommend going back to the "Automatic" option? Or something else entirely?
