The first two methods which we have shared would solve the issue for you easily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So without doing any delay, let\u2019s know how to fix dns_probe_finished_bad_config error in <a href=\"https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/tag\/google-chrome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google chrome<\/a> web browser:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Renew_the_IP\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #39b54a;\">Method 1:<\/span> Renew the IP <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first method to fix DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG chrome error includes renewing the IP address. There might be some problem with the IP address of your <a href=\"https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/disable-internet-connection-sharing-windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">internet connection<\/a> which might be causing this issue. Follow the steps below to renew IP address.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">First of all, open Run Window by pressing <strong>Windows + R<\/strong> key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the Run window, type <strong>cmd<\/strong> and hit Enter key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now you will see a command prompt.

If there are any changes in the DNS server then you need to flush the DNS. Follow the steps explained below to flush DNS on your PC:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, open <strong>Run<\/strong> Window by pressing <strong>Windows + R<\/strong> key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">In the Run dialog-box, type <strong>cmd<\/strong> and hit Enter key.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Now you will see a command prompt.

But if you are still facing this <a href=\"https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/your-connection-is-not-private-chrome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">error in your Google chrome<\/a> browser then try out third method which is explained below.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Change_DNS_servers\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #39b54a;\">Method 3:<\/span> Change DNS servers <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the above two methods failed to fix<strong> dns_probe_finished_bad_config <\/strong>error then you can try this last method. The last thing which you can do is change the DNS server of your PC. The reason we are going to change the DNS server is that the error is related to the DNS of your PC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DNS are different for different Internet Service providers. Instead of using the DNS of your Internet service provider you can use a Public DNS as it both fast as well as reliable. You can follow the steps shared below to change the DNS servers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">At first, you have to open <strong>Run<\/strong> window. To open Run Window press <strong>Windows + R<\/strong> keys together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you have opened the Run window, enter <strong>ncpa.cpl<\/strong> and press Ok button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Upon entering the command you will see the <strong>Network connections<\/strong> of your computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">All the connections which you are using on your computer will be displayed here.
