Error 4000: Network Connection Failed

14 views
Updated March 11, 2026

Quick Fix

Open the browser’s settings, clear the cache and cookies, then restart the browser. If the problem persists, disable any VPN or proxy and try again.

What it Means

Error 4000 indicates the browser could not establish a secure connection to the requested server. It often appears when the server’s SSL/TLS certificate is invalid, expired, or the network blocks the connection.

Possible Causes

  • 1
    Expired or mismatched SSL/TLS certificates
  • 2
    Network firewall or proxy blocking HTTPS traffic
  • 3
    Outdated browser version
  • 4
    Incorrect system date/time

How to Fix

    Step-by-Step Solutions

    1. Update Browser

      Open the browser menu, go to Help > About, and let it download the latest update. This ensures you have the newest security patches.

    2. Check System Clock

      On Windows, right‑click the time, select Adjust date/time, and enable automatic sync. On macOS, go to System Settings > Date & Time and check the box. A wrong clock can cause SSL errors.

    3. Clear Cache and Cookies

      Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data. Select Cached images and files, Cookies and other site data, then clear data. This removes stale credentials.

    4. Disable VPN/Proxy

      If you’re using a VPN or proxy, temporarily turn it off to see if the connection succeeds. Some services block certain ports.

    5. Reset Network Settings

      On Windows, run cmd as admin and execute "netsh winsock reset" and "netsh int ip reset". Then restart the computer.

      netsh winsock reset && netsh int ip reset

    Commands You Can Try

    netsh winsock reset && netsh int ip reset
