Error Unknown host:

Toqa | Last updated: Aug 07, 2022 11:26AM UTC

When I open any website I get the unknown host error. For ex, visiting google.com shows Error Unknown host: www.google.com. The error occurs in all browsers, I used the pre-configured browser in burp and firefox and I'm still facing the same error.

Hi Toqa, The Unknown Host error is usually indicative of Burp not being able to resolve the domain name into an IP address. To clarify, do you get this with every site that you are trying to access with Burp (it sounds like this is the case)? In addition to the above, are you using a LAN proxy in order to access the internet on your environment?
