React router cannot get /** while trying to reload page in a nested route

I'm using react-router-dom, when navigating via links the route is working as it should, but when the page is refreshed while in a nested route it throws Cannot GET /***(what ever page it is in).

But as per this video demonstrated if you type a nested url it works?
