I am experiencing inconsistent DNS resolution in macOS Monterey 12.5. I’ve noticed this issue with the same machine when it was running macOS Big Sur. I’m not on a VPN.
This seems to randomly appear and resolve itself multiple times throughout the day (with random “downtime” up to 10 minutes). FWIW, during this “downtime”, I’m still able to visit google.com in the browser without any issues.
I’ve tried the following things – none of which have any consistency fixing the problem.
- Reconnecting to Wi-Fi.
- Flushing cache via:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder - Restarting the machine.
