While trying to access a website on Google Chrome or any other browser for that matter, if you view err_connection_reset status on the screen, it means that ongoing establishment between your internet profile and the website network has failed. As a result, the connection automatically resets. It is the technical reason why you see the err_connection_reset error on the screen. More often than not, error connection reset problems occur because of underlying internet issues, such as if the internet connection disconnects in the middle of the search.
Other than an unstable internet connection, error connection reset error also recurs when Chrome security and privacy system suggests a suspicious activity on the website. For example, when you try to access a website that sells or provides content in an illegal manner (for example, proxy websites for tv shows and movies), in such cases, error connection reset may occur because these sites do not have a proper security system. As a result, the possibility that cyber fraud is stealing information on your PC while you are using the website is high.
However, without going all deep into technicalities, if you are viewing an err connection reset error repeatedly occurring on the screen, you must focus on resolving it. And if you are ready, we have a perfect set of true and tried solutions for you. Let’s take a glance:
#Method 1: Resolve err_connection_reset by resetting your router (or switching to another source of internet)
First of all, please check if the website you are trying to visit does not promote any type of illegal content such as pornography, proxy entertainment content, and so on. If it does, it is best not to access such websites. However, if you are 100% confirmed that the website is safe, then there is a high possibility that the connection was reset due to failure to connect to the internet.
To resolve this, reach out to the router placed in your house. A small button behind the router will allow you to reset its connection. Once the internet is back, you can visit the website.
#Method 2: Visit website with secure hypertext protocol
While entering any website using a URL, you will notice that your browser shows a small “lock” icon now if the lock icon is not there. It means that the website is not secured. But, if you want to visit the website anyway, please change “http://” in the URL address to “https://” where “s” stands for secure.
Now, if HTTPS:// is already in the URL, then reverse this method.
#Method 3: Turn off antivirus program and VPN service
Remember how you feel uncomfortable while accessing an unknown website. Well! The feeling is mutual. When a website offers a genuine service, it does not allow just any user to enter. Instead, a website verifies user information using IP Addresses and some basic details.
If the website catches anything suspicious, it will block you from accessing it. Thus, you will see err_connection_reset on the screen. So, to avoid being caught with fake IP Addresses and security walls up, deactivate antivirus programs and VPN services for a short time period.
We hope that above-mentioned solutions worked out for you at best. Thank you. If the problem persists, switch to another browser and go streaming!
