"Could not reach host. Are you offline?" & "can't find msedgedriver.azureedge.net: Non-existent domain"

[ashonagi]

I can’t download Microsoft Edge WebDriver because the domain msedgedriver.azureedge.net fails to resolve. I tried nslookup and chatgpt.

Errors I got:

"Could not reach host. Are you offline?"

*** dns.google can't find msedgedriver.azureedge.net: Non-existent domain Same result when using a VPN:

***UnKnown can't find msedgedriver.azureedge.net: Non-existent domain

What I’ve Tried:

-Default ISP DNS (fails)

-Switched to Google DNS (8.8.8.8) and Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) – same result

-Flushed DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns)

-Tried with and without VPN – no change

-Tested in browser and via nslookup – domain won’t resolve

The problem is consistent across different DNS servers and network connections, so it doesn’t seem to be a local configuration issue. I can browse and download normally.

Any thoughts how to resolve it? Thnaks

I was able to workaround the error, and created a PR for ref. Someone needs to refine/review the same though since its Selenium related I think

Thanks. This worked for me. Now just getting some "Too Many Requests" errors in the browser. Adding a delay between requests should help.
