Chrome then shows the &#8220;This site can&#8217;t be reached&#8221; page with the code <code>ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE<\/code>. The error is especially common when accessing a router&#8217;s admin page (for example <code>192.168.1.1<\/code>), local devices such as printers, cameras or a NAS, or while using a VPN. In this guide we explain what the error means, what causes it and how to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE_Mean\"><\/span>What Does ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE Mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To connect to an IP address, your computer sends packets either directly to the device on the same local network or to the default gateway (usually the router). If the target appears to be on the same network but does not answer, or there is no route to the target, the operating system reports &#8220;host unreachable&#8221; and Chrome shows ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE. In other words, the problem is usually not the site&#8217;s content but the network path between you and the target address. We explain the basics of networks in our article <a href=\"https:\/\/sunucun.com.tr\/blog\/what-is-a-network\/\">what is a network<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_the_Error\"><\/span>Causes of the Error<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Wrong local IP address:<\/strong> For example, trying <code>192.168.1.1<\/code> when the router&#8217;s admin page is <code>192.168.0.1<\/code>.<\/li><li><strong>Different subnet:<\/strong> Your computer and the target device may be on different networks (for example a guest Wi-Fi and the main network).<\/li><li><strong>The target device is off or disconnected:<\/strong> If the printer, camera or NAS is off, its address cannot be reached.<\/li><li><strong>VPN routes:<\/strong> With a VPN on, all traffic is sent to the VPN and access to local network addresses may be cut.<\/li><li><strong>Wrong network settings:<\/strong> A manually entered wrong IP, subnet mask or gateway, or a damaged TCP\/IP stack.<\/li><li><strong>Proxy setting:<\/strong> If an unreachable proxy server is configured, every request can fail.<\/li><li><strong>Server or routing problem:<\/strong> If it happens on a remote site, the server&#8217;s network may be down or its IP address may have changed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE\"><\/span>How to Fix ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Check_Your_IP_Address_and_Gateway\"><\/span>1. Check Your IP Address and Gateway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Windows, type <code>ipconfig<\/code> in Command Prompt. Look at the <strong>IPv4 Address<\/strong> and <strong>Default Gateway<\/strong> lines. If you want to open the router&#8217;s admin page, type the gateway address in the browser. The address of the device you want to reach must be in the same range as your own IP address (for example, if yours is <code>192.168.1.25<\/code>, the device should be <code>192.168.1.x<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Ping_the_Target\"><\/span>2. Ping the Target<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a command such as <code>ping 192.168.1.1<\/code> to see whether the target answers. A &#8220;Destination host unreachable&#8221; reply shows that there is no path or that the device is off. Make sure the device is on and connected to the same network.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Turn_Off_VPN_and_Proxy\"><\/span>3. Turn Off VPN and Proxy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turn off the VPN and try again; some VPN apps have an &#8220;allow local network access&#8221; (LAN access) option. On Windows, if a manual proxy is set under <strong>Settings &gt; Network &amp; Internet &gt; Proxy<\/strong>, turn it off.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Set_Network_Settings_to_Automatic_and_Reset_Them\"><\/span>4. Set Network Settings to Automatic and Reset Them<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the adapter&#8217;s IPv4 properties, choose &#8220;Obtain an IP address automatically&#8221; and &#8220;Obtain DNS server address automatically&#8221;. Then open Command Prompt as administrator, run these commands and restart the computer:<\/p>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>ipconfig \/release\nipconfig \/renew\nnetsh int ip reset\nnetsh winsock reset<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Restart_the_Router_and_Join_the_Right_Network\"><\/span>5. Restart the Router and Join the Right Network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Restart the router. If you use a guest network or a second access point, make sure you are connected to the same network as the device you want to reach; guest networks often block access to local devices.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Check_Chromes_Local_Network_Permission\"><\/span>6. Check Chrome&#8217;s Local Network Permission<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On macOS, make sure Chrome is allowed under <strong>System Settings &gt; Privacy &amp; Security &gt; Local Network<\/strong>; if the permission is off, the browser cannot reach devices on the local network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_It_Happens_on_a_Remote_Site_or_Server\"><\/span>If It Happens on a Remote Site or Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the error appears only on a particular site and from different networks too, the problem is on the server side. If you own the site, check the server&#8217;s network connection and IP configuration, verify that the domain&#8217;s A record points to the current IP address, and use <code>tracert yourdomain.com<\/code> (<code>traceroute<\/code> on Linux) to see where the path breaks. For cases where the server does not answer at all, see our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/sunucun.com.tr\/blog\/fix-err-connection-timed-out\/\">ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT<\/a>, and for cases where the domain cannot be resolved, see <a href=\"https:\/\/sunucun.com.tr\/blog\/fix-err-name-not-resolved\/\">ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE shows that your device could not find a network path to the target IP address. In most cases, using the right local IP address, joining the same network, turning off the VPN and resetting network settings solves the problem. If it happens on a remote server, check the server&#8217;s network and DNS record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE is an error showing that your computer could not find a network path to the IP address you want to connect to.
