Short answer
Chrome has no usable network route at all. This is a client-side state; no server configuration produces it.
What ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED means
The browser checks for a viable network interface before attempting the request. This error means that check failed outright.
Causes and fixes, most likely first
Wi-Fi or ethernet is disconnected, or airplane mode is on.
Reconnect the interface and retry.
DHCP failed, so the device is associated but has no valid address.
Renew the lease or reconnect to the network.
A VPN kill switch is blocking all traffic while the tunnel is down.
Reconnect or disable the VPN.
How to stop it happening again
- •Client-side only — no server-side prevention applies.
