Fix NameResolutionError

in Selenium

Solution

The "NameResolutionError" in Selenium usually indicates a problem resolving the hostname used for a WebDriver server or a website. This can be due to DNS issues, incorrect proxy settings, or the hostname being unreachable. To fix it, verify your internet connection, check your DNS settings, and ensure any proxy configurations are correct. Also, double check the URL/address you are trying to connect to is correctly spelled and accessible.
