ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED

Network Changed

Your network changed mid-connection — Chrome detected a new IP address or interface switch and aborted the request to avoid mixing data from different networks.

Why this happens

  • Wi-Fi switched between access points during the request
  • VPN connected or disconnected
  • Network adapter changed (wired to wireless or vice versa)
  • Your DHCP lease renewed with a new IP mid-session
  • Mobile device switched between Wi-Fi and cellular

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Reload the page — the error resolves itself once the network is stable

  2. 2

    Wait for your network to settle (a few seconds) before retrying

  3. 3

    If on a laptop, avoid moving between networks during large file operations

  4. 4

    Check if your VPN is causing frequent reconnects
