DNS - Cannot connect to the internet I think I have some sort of dns/proxy issues with my wifi settings. Many apps cannot connect to the internet: Firefox, Team viewer, Steam (works after 2 minutes). Chrome does connect but "Establishing secure connection" message for 30+ seconds on each website.

Currently using my default ISP DNS but also tried Google public DNS.
Proxy protocol: Auto Proxy Discovery (tried on and off) &amp; Passive mode active.

I have cleared DNS cache multiple times, removed network multiple times and it only seems to be happening on this specific device: 2015 MBP Sierra.

Worth mentioning that this specific issue freezes my Mac for a good minute or so.



Anybody has any ideas regarding what is going on here? There is no proxy/dns settings on my router + it is a wireless connection.

My current settings:

Update: I did a wifi test and got "DNS resolution failure"
Go to: System Preferences - Network - Select your current adapter - Advanced ->
Uncheck the "Web Proxy" &amp;&amp; "Secure Web Proxy" option
