It's a network based error, when I tried service networking restart and some other network based commands it just gradually worked.idk if this helps but it's better to try it out

Type the Cat etc/nsswitch.conf and look for hosts line and the value should be files DNS, if there's anything that comes between the files DNS words, delete it with a text editor and save it.Hope this helps

All Recon-ng does is make simple web requests. If it is unable to reach the various resources it is trying to reach out to, then you will receive connection errors like this. Therefore, it has to be a local networking issue outside of Recon-ng.
