Windows Firewall: Tips for Unblocking Websites and Resolving Connection Issues
Common Firewall Issues and Solutions
Firewalls are designed to protect computers from unauthorized access and malicious software. However, sometimes firewalls can block legitimate websites or connections. Here are some common issues and solutions:
Blocked Websites
If you're unable to access a specific website, check your firewall settings. You may need to add the website to the list of exceptions or disable the firewall temporarily.
Proxy Server Problems
If you're connecting to a network with a proxy server, you may need to configure your firewall to allow the connection. Check the firewall settings and look for options related to proxy servers.
McAfee Firewall Issues
Disabling your antivirus and firewall may still not resolve connection issues. Try temporarily disabling only the firewall and see if that solves the problem.
