Hi,

All of a sudden Google services - search engine & Gmail - have stopped working on the two MacBook Pros I own. I am unable to access them on Safari, Firefox & Chrome. On Safari & Chrome it says "no internet connection" & Firefox just doesn't seem to do anything when trying to search Google or Gmail. On the other hand, Google services seem to be running flawlessly on my Windows laptops.

Anyone know what is going on?
 
Try different DNS servers in System Preferences - Network - Advanced - DNS

Click the + button & add say cloudflare (1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1)





as they suggest at https://1.1.1.1/dns/

  1. Open System Preferences.
  2. Search for DNS Servers and select it from the dropdown.
  3. Click the + button to add a DNS Server and enter 1.1.1.1
  4. Click + again and enter 1.0.0.1 (This is for redundancy.)
  5. Click + again and enter 2606:4700:4700::1111 (This is for redundancy.)
  6. Click + again and enter 2606:4700:4700::1001 (This is for redundancy.)
  7. Click Ok, then click Apply.
