ATT wifi always shows, "secure-login.attwifi.com’s server IP address could not be found."

When I try to login to public wifi, I always get,

Which reads,

This site can’t be reached secure-login.attwifi.com’s server IP address could not be found. Try:

 Checking the connection Checking the proxy, firewall, and DNS configuration ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

I get this any time I try to connect to an att-commerical wifi spot, like the crap they likely traded for a happy meal to McDonalds,

So if you're getting this error, it's likely because you have something like this set in your /etc/resolve.conf,

nameserver 127.0.0.53
search att.net

For whatever reasons, hitting connect on the portal screen can't get you to the next step to resolve the process,

You may want to change the name servers to 8.8.8.8 so your /etc/resolve.conf looks like,

nameserver 8.8.8.8
