some sites do not work! Everything looks like my internet is down.

More detail, please.  Is it correct to interpret this as:

  • The problem is restricted only to some web sites, or
  • The problem appears to be some internet URLs not resolving into IP addresses?

While other internet activities function normally. (other web sites, email, ICMP (Ping), video streaming,etc.)

 

Can you please check the Advanced Tab, Security Menu and see if there is an entry in the Block Sites table?

    Hi,

    thanks for your answer. 

    I checked the blocked sites and it's empty.

     

    I'm not sure what the real problem is.
    When I try to access the site, I get a message from the browser

    hmm. We're having trouble finding that site.
    If you entered the right address, you can:
    Try again later
    Check your network connection
    Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

    (This happens in all browsers)

      Just crazy.

      • Connect using WiFi, web browsesr load the site.
      • Connect using Ethernet, web browsers all cannot find the site.

      On Windows, the WiFi adapter and Ethernet adapters have separate settings for how they determine DNS servers.

      (using DHCP to be told which server to use - which is usually the gateway router {Orbi}) or

      DNS servers defined by IP address.

       

      Does it work the same way on Mac?

        That's it!
        You are right, on mac os you can separately configure dns for wired connection and wifi. but I have the same dns configured
        8.8.8.8
        8.8.4.4
        I check my DNS here - https://www.dnsleaktest.com
