Either way, you are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/wi-fi-connected-but-no-internet-problem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unable to connect to the internet<\/a>. The error can be frustrating as it keeps bugging its users and deprives them of proper connectivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, let\u2019s explore the error a bit more to identify the problem and how it can be resolved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">VPN Connection Failed Due to Unsuccessful Domain &#8211; Why does it happen?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The error appears from a configuration clash that appears when you are trying to use a VPN server that uses a different DNS than the one that you have already set up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be familiar with multiple DNS services, such as Google DNS, OpenDNS, etc., available for any user to set up and use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, when someone manually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/change-dns-server-on-windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changes their DNS<\/a> and later tries to use a VPN client, the error The VPN Connection Failed Due to Unsuccessful Domain Name Resolution appears. This happens due to the conflict between the VPN server DNS and the already set up DNS that your PC is using.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor that causes the issue is the type of VPN service used. Such issues are common when you connect to a VPN server via a free client. That is because free servers are not properly configured or optimized to adapt the DNS settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How to Fix &#8211; VPN Connection Failed Due to Unsuccessful Domain Name Resolution?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing the exact cause of the error simplifies the process of rectifying it. The error appears due to mismatched DNS settings. Hence, the ultimate way to fix the error is by switching your PC\u2019s DNS settings to their default.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This way, when a VPN connection is established, it can easily mold the DNS as per requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a way you can resolve this &#8211; The VPN Connection Failed Due to Unsuccessful Domain Name Resolution error &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Change Your DNS Settings Back to Default<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing your domain name settings back to default is simple.

If you rely on a free VPN to give you an error-free connection, you may be wrong. The servers are extremely crowded and not at all optimized. This leads to errors similar to VPN connection failure due to unsuccessful domain name resolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ideal solution is to use a reliable VPN client, like the Systweak VPN. It offers quality servers and a pretty easy approach to changing servers.
