Lately, I've been facing some frustrating issues with browsing. For the past couple of weeks, whenever I try to load certain websites, I occasionally get a "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" error on Chrome. Refreshing the page usually fixes it, but I ran into a problem trying to access epicgames.com; I received a message saying, "This site can't be reached / Check if there is a typo in www.epicgames.com. / If spelling is correct, try running Windows Network Diagnostics. / DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN." This same issue pops up on Firefox too. The biggest concern is that I can't log into the Epic Games app from my desktop either. I've already restarted my PC, uninstalled my antivirus, and cleared my browser cache, but I'm at a loss. Is this a problem with Epic Games or my computer? Any help would be super appreciated!

It sounds like your DNS issues might not be related to Epic Games specifically. Try running these commands in Command Prompt as an Administrator: `ipconfig /release && ipconfig /renew && netsh winsock reset`. This could help reset your network settings and resolve the DNS errors you're seeing.
Since you can ping Google without issues, it seems like your internet connection is okay. But just to be sure, have you tried accessing other websites to see if the error is consistent? It's possible that it might be a temporary DNS issue. If that doesn't work, you might want to consider changing your DNS settings to something like Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare's (1.1.1.1) for better stability.
