How to Fix Google Public DNS Not Working Today

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 Your Local DNS Cache: Open Command Prompt as Administrator on Windows and run ipconfig /flushdns. On macOS, open Terminal and run sudo dscacheutil -flushcache followed by sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder.
Test Alternative DNS Servers: Change your device network settings to use Cloudflare DNS at 1.1.1.1 or Quad9 at 9.9.9.9. If websites load with the new settings, you have confirmed the issue is specific to Google.
Restart Your Router and Devices: Power cycle your router to clear temporary memory and request new IP assignments from your provider. This clears local network conflicts that block access to external DNS resolvers.

How to Fix & Check if Google Public DNS Is Down on Windows, Mac, Android & iOS

desktop_windows

Google Public DNS on Windows

Fix: To fix Google Public DNS issues on Windows, open your Network Connections, access your active adapter's properties, and verify the IPv4 addresses are set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. You can also temporarily switch to automatic DNS settings to restore your connection.

Check: To check if Google Public DNS is down on Windows, try pinging a public IP address like 8.8.8.8 in the Command Prompt. If the IP responds but websites fail to load by name, the DNS service may be experiencing an outage.

Command Prompt (CMD)

ping developers.google.com Test whether Google Public DNS's servers reply

nslookup developers.google.com Check that Google Public DNS's DNS resolves

tracert developers.google.com Trace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdns Clear the DNS cache, then reload

laptop_mac

Google Public DNS on Mac

Fix: To resolve Google Public DNS issues on macOS, navigate to Network settings, select your active connection, and ensure 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are listed in the DNS servers tab. You can also try flushing your DNS cache or toggling your network connection.

Check: Check if Google Public DNS is down on macOS by testing if you can access websites using their raw IP addresses but not their domain names. If switching to your ISP's default DNS resolves the issue, Google Public DNS is likely down.

Terminal

ping -c 4 developers.google.com Test whether Google Public DNS's servers reply

nslookup developers.google.com Check that Google Public DNS's DNS resolves

traceroute developers.google.com Trace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder Flush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

android

Google Public DNS on Android

Fix: If Google Public DNS is not working on Android, go to your Network settings and verify that the Private DNS provider hostname is correctly set to 'dns.google'. If issues persist, switch Private DNS to Automatic or Off to restore your internet access.
