ReVanced: No Internet Connection Fix

Fixes for the ReVanced no internet error

1. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data and try again. If one network works and the other does not, you have found the answer already: the failing network filters something, and nothing inside the app will change that.
2. Turn off any VPN, proxy or ad-blocking app and retest. Blocklist based apps frequently drop the ad and tracking hosts that YouTube's own requests pass through, which the app reports as being offline.
3. Turn off Private DNS under Settings, Network, Private DNS. Set it to Off rather than Automatic while testing. Filtering resolvers are a common cause and Automatic can still route you through one.
4. Set a plain DNS on the network if you control the router, such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, then reconnect the device so it picks up the change.
5. Check per app data under App info, Mobile data and Wi-Fi. Background data and unrestricted data usage both need to be on for the patched app, and separately for GmsCore, which makes its own network calls.
6. Turn off Data Saver system wide while testing. It restricts background traffic for apps that are not exempt, and GmsCore is rarely exempt.
7. Clear the patched app's cache, then reopen it. A cached failed response can keep the error on screen after the underlying problem is already gone.

Why ReVanced says there is no internet connection

• The message is generic. The app cannot tell a blocked host apart from a dead network, so both produce the same line.
• GmsCore needs its own network access. If it is restricted while the app is not, sign-in and anything account related fails while video may still load, or the reverse.
• Filtering resolvers block more than ads. A DNS service that blocks tracking domains can take out hosts the app treats as required.
• Some networks block by policy. School, workplace and hotel networks often filter video traffic without saying so.

If none of this worked

• Test the official YouTube app or a browser on the same network. If those fail too, the network is filtering video and this is not a ReVanced problem at all.
• If mobile data works and only your home Wi-Fi fails, the router or your DNS provider is doing it. Change the resolver at the router rather than on the phone, since some routers override per device settings.
• If the error appears only after signing in, treat it as an authentication problem instead. The GmsCore login guide covers it.
• If nothing changes across two networks with no VPN and no filtering, re-patch with the base version Manager recommends. A patched build that is out of step with the current bundle can fail its own connectivity check.

Questions people ask

• Does a VPN break ReVanced? Not by itself. VPN apps that also block domains do, and so do servers in regions where YouTube behaves differently.
• Why does the browser work when the app does not? They request different hosts. Blocking one specific hostname takes out the app while leaving the website alone.
• Is this caused by the ad blocking patches? No. Ad filtering happens inside the app, not on the network, and it does not depend on any host being reachable.
• Do I need to reinstall after changing DNS? No, but clear the app cache and reopen it, since the old failed lookups can be held for a while.

Work through this by narrowing rather than by guessing. Different network, no VPN, no private DNS, three quick tests that between them account for most reports. Only after all three still fail is it worth re-patching, which is by far the most time consuming step and the least likely to be the answer.

If the app connects but video will not play, that is a separate failure with separate causes. The playback error guide covers it, and ReVanced not working is the place to start if several things are broken at once.

Extra notes before you retry

If the problem comes back after a fix, note your YouTube base version, your ReVanced Manager build, and whether GmsCore is installed before trying anything else. A version mismatch between those is behind most repeat failures.
