Can't search anything on Brave

Description of the issue:
I can’t search anything on the browser. Whenever I search anything it gives the following error:
This site can’t be reached
search.brave.com’s DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem.
DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE

If I use a VPN only then it works correctly. This has been going on for about one week. This happens in private mode as well. My other browsers are also working fine. Without VPN even my Brave wallet doesn’t load. And for around the same period I haven’t received any new tab ads either.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Reproduces how often:
Going on for about a week. Happens constantly.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Windows 11 Home, Brave 1.80.113 (Official Build) (64-bit)
