Network bandwidth

When I open logging & reporting | network usage I see NXDOMAIN hosts and some foreign ip addresses but don't know what it means. I know it is about outgoing and incoming traffic but what is NXDOMAIN means? Is addresses from others countries means that someone downloaded something from those ip addrese or ? see picture in attachment

thanks

NXDOMAIN is either a non-existant or invalid domain name. If it shows up in a report, it means there was a connection to/from that IP address.

What does it mean "invalid domain name". It showed up in a report. The utm is in test environment and only few computer and we think we never used that addresses to connect to.
