Have you encountered the issue of getting an error message with "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" due to a redirect issue in Webflow?
Yes, I have encountered the issue of getting an error message with "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" due to a redirect issue in Webflow. This error typically occurs when there is a problem with the DNS (Domain Name System) configuration, which prevents the browser from resolving the IP address of a website. The problem is often related to improper configuration of domain settings or DNS records.
To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that your domain settings are properly configured in Webflow and your DNS records are correctly set up. Here are the steps you can follow:
Check your domain settings in Webflow: Double-check your domain settings in the Webflow project settings. Make sure your custom domain is correctly entered and configured.
Verify your DNS records: Open your domain registrar's website (where you purchased your domain) and verify that the DNS records are set up correctly. You need to have an A record pointing to the correct IP address of your Webflow site. If you're using a subdomain such as "www", make sure there is a CNAME record pointing to the correct Webflow subdomain.
Clear DNS cache: Sometimes, the DNS cache on your computer may be causing the issue. You can clear the DNS cache by opening the command prompt on your computer and entering the command "ipconfig /flushdns" (for Windows) or "dscacheutil -flushcache" (for Mac).
Wait for DNS propagation: DNS changes can take time to propagate across the internet. It may take a few hours or up to 48 hours for the changes to take effect. Make sure to wait and check again after some time.
If you have followed these steps and the issue still persists, it is advisable to contact Webflow support or your domain registrar for further assistance.
