I think I have some sort of dns/proxy issues with my wifi settings. Many apps cannot connect to the internet: Firefox, Team viewer, Steam (works after 2 minutes). Chrome does connect but "Establishing secure connection" message for 30+ seconds on each website.

Currently using my default ISP DNS but also tried Google public DNS. Proxy protocol: Auto Proxy Discovery (tried on and off) & Passive mode active.

I have cleared DNS cache multiple times, removed network multiple times and it only seems to be happening on this specific device: 2015 MBP Sierra.

Worth mentioning that this specific issue freezes my Mac for a good minute or so.

Anybody has any ideas regarding what is going on here? There is no proxy/dns settings on my router + it is a wireless connection.

My current settings:

  • What makes you think it's a DNS problem? How do ping our traceroute behave?

  • @techraf I can't really think of anything else since I have no firewall or any security set on the router. Ping & traceroute results added.

After days of research I finally found the problem.

The mDNSResponder service wasn't running.

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponderHelper.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd_helper.plist
