Chrome keeps showing an “ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED” error whenever I try to open certain websites. What usually causes this, and what steps can I take to fix it? Any simple troubleshooting tips would help.
“ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED” in Chrome usually means the connection was unexpectedly terminated. Fix it by restarting your router, disabling VPN or proxy, clearing Chrome’s cache, and turning off extensions. Also reset Chrome settings, flush DNS using ipconfig /flushdns, and check firewall or antivirus settings blocking the site.
“ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED” usually pops up because of network glitches or messed-up Chrome settings, just restart your Wi-Fi, turn off any VPN/proxy, and clear your browser cache/DNS to get the sites loading again.
