DNS not working properly (code W802)


Hello, my internet connection works but I constantly get a warning in Fing about DNS resolution.
When I do a ping towards my DNS servers no errors appear.
When I do a ping towards my DNS servers no errors appear.
I also use a VPN connection to go online.
All other internet-related tools and progs are doing OK also.
(Dropbox, Google Drive, Mega, OneDrive, Plex Media Server, QNAP, Drobo, Goodsync, etc)
What should cause this problem? Can anyone help me out?
Is there something wrong in my configuration (network, registry, settings,...)


I already want to thank everybody who makes an effort to give me a solution or tip(s) about this.
Regards,
Rudi, Belgium

Are you using any VPN while you receive this error? Can you disable the VPN and then refresh the scan if the error appears? Also, you can try to use this link to flush the DNS and then manually refresh the scan to check again: https://www.technipages.com/flush-and-reset-the-dns-resolver-cache-using-ipconfig

The notification you are referring comes when your device was either in sleep mode or the Fing desktop was unable to connect to the internet. When you click on the notification, it takes you to home tab to either re-run the scan or check if there is any error. When you manually scan or refresh the network, then Fing desktop re-runs the network scan and is able to talk to its servers and run the checks identifying everything is working alright.
The Connectivity alert is only for that particular time when Fing desktop was unable to run checks due to the device was in sleep mode or the internet was disconnected. You can always refresh the scan to make sure if everything is working alright at the current time.
