Hello, so I made an account here because I've been struggling with this problem for the past week or so and my usual strategy of bashing my head against the wall until the wall moves didn't work out.
I am unable to access most sites on the internet, each time getting me either a "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" (Chrome or Edge) or "ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE" (Opera). The sites that I'm unable to access and the ones I'm able to access seem to be random, but I made a short list of the more popular sites I know about and have been repeatedly testing:
Sites I can access regularly: Google and its related services (Gmail, YouTube, Drive, etc.), This site, Hostinger, Yahoo, Spotify
Sites I can't access: Amazon, GitHub, Twitter, Bing, eBay, Walmart, Microsoft, Steam, Canvas, My School's website
I don't know how to fix this, but it has caused me a lot of trouble and any help would be appreciated.
I use a Laptop, and pretty much exclusively use wi-fi, if that's pertinent information.
