You might see the ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED error pop up while trying to enter a site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"err_connection_closed\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is Google Chrome<\/a>\u00b4s<\/strong> way of telling you that the necessary data transfer to establish connection has been broken<\/strong>. This means that the connection between the server and browser is closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are various reasons this error appears, it doesn\u00b4t always have to do with a browser error.<\/strong> Sometimes it\u00b4s because of our device or faulty internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that reason, we\u00b4re going to explain a few ways on how to solve this problem so you can keep on surfing the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix the ERR_CONNCECTION_CLOSED error?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem about the error message<\/strong> is that it doesn\u00b4t give any type of details on why it happened in the first place. This means there are a lot of ways to try to fix the connection error<\/strong>. For that reason, we\u00b4ve composed a list of solutions to give you a high probability of solving the problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Restart your router and device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u00b4s the basic and first thing<\/strong> you should try to do. Seems like a solution your grandma would give right? Well restarting can sometimes help fix any small errors or conflicts in the software and is the quickest option you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure when you restart<\/strong> your router to leave it off for about a minute or two (don\u00b4t just turn it on and off) to ensure it restarts properly. After you\u00b4ve done all that just search on your browser and see if it\u00b4s working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Check if the antivirus or firewall is interfering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having your security software on your device is something indispensable to maintain safety on the web to avoid unnecessary problems and scares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sometimes the firewall<\/strong> or antivirus <\/strong>can be blocking your browser which will provoke errors while trying to open web pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try deactivating <\/strong>these measures momentarily and open your browser to see if it opens pages without any issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Deactivate Chrome extensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some Chrome extensions may provoke the ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED message. To deactivate them, you simply go to settings > extensions<\/strong> or just type in: chrome:\/\/extensions\/<\/strong> on the search bar. Then click the toggle to deactivate the extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If the error is fixed after doing this, it means that one of the extensions was causing the error. To check which one, simply reactivate the extensions one by one until you activate the one that triggers the error and simply press REMOVE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Malware check using Chrome cleanup tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To help with any issues that may be interfering with Chrome, Chrome has a buil in cleanup tool. It will scan for any malware or malicious software interfering with Chrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To run the tool simply type chrome:\/\/settings\/cleanup<\/strong> on your search bar, then click Find button to run the scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Set default Chrome settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another option you have is to reset your chrome settings<\/strong> here\u00b4s how you do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Click on the right side chrome menu<\/strong> and choose settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) On settings page, scroll down and click Advanced settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) On the end of the page, press restore settings to their original defaults<\/strong> and click reset settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6. Purge DNS cache <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your DNS cache can produce the ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED<\/strong> error if entries are outdated and incompatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To purge the DNS cache you have to enter this address in the address bar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

chrome:\/\/net-internals\/#dns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will open DNS settings in the options menu \u201cNet Internals<\/strong>\u201d. Here you\u00b4ll find the Clear host cache button to clear the cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Reinstall Chrome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If with these methods you still haven\u00b4t been successful fixing the \u201cERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED<\/strong>\u201d error, you can try to uninstall the browser and then reinstall it. The downside of this is that all of your saved settings for the browser will be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
