What is this error?

The "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET" error in Google Chrome indicates that the connection to the website was interrupted or reset unexpectedly. This can occur due to issues with your internet connection, browser settings, or the server hosting the website.

How to Fix It

  1. Check Your Internet Connection:

    Ensure that your device is properly connected to the internet. Test your connection by opening other websites or applications.

  2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:

    Go to Chrome's settings, navigate to "Privacy and security," and select "Clear browsing data." Choose to clear cached images and files along with cookies.

  3. Disable Proxy Settings:

    Open the Chrome settings, go to "Advanced," then "System" and select "Open your computer's proxy settings." Make sure to disable any active proxy servers.

  4. Reset TCP/IP Configuration:

    Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands:

    netsh int ip reset
                    netsh winsock reset
                    ipconfig /flushdns
    Ensure to restart the computer afterward.

  5. Temporarily Disable Firewall/Antivirus:

    Your firewall or antivirus software may be blocking the connection. Temporarily disable them to see if this resolves the issue. If it does, consult the software’s documentation to adjust the settings properly.

  6. Check for VPN Issues:

    If you are using a VPN, try disconnecting it, as this can sometimes cause the connection to reset. Test the connection again without the VPN enabled.
