Fixes for Google Public DNS not working today, with an "is Google Public DNS working" check

When the global status reads 'Operational' but the app still crashes on your device, the problem is local. Try these simple fixes to restore your Google Public DNS connection:

• Flush the Windows DNS cache: Flush the local cache first. On Windows, open Command Prompt as an administrator and run ipconfig /flushdns, then retry the site or app that reports "Google Public DNS not working today". Search terms like "is Google Public DNS down" are useful only with the page's {STATUS} and {REPORTS}, since a local cache error can look like a public outage.
• Reset the Android connection: Restart the connection cleanly. On Android, switch Airplane mode on for ten seconds, turn it off, and reconnect to Wi-Fi; this clears a stuck resolver path without changing the whole network. If "is Google Public DNS down right now" or "is Google Public DNS working" gives a different result on mobile data, the Wi-Fi path needs attention.
• Check the router DNS settings: Check the router last. Set its DNS entries to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, save the change, and reboot it if every device fails at once. If you searched "Google Public DNS outage today 2026", check our Google Public DNS down detector before replacing hardware. The Google Public DNS network status and Google Public DNS server status panels pair with {UPTIME} uptime and {LASTDOWN} to show if the problem is local.
