Check Windows Firewall and security programs blocking internet
Sometimes a firewall rule stops traffic, this guide shows how to inspect and allow needed connections.
If one app cannot reach internet while others can, firewall may block it.
- Open Windows Security > Firewall & network protection.
- Click "Allow an app through firewall".
- Find the app and check Private/Public as needed.
- If missing, click "Change settings" > "Allow another app...".
- Test connectivity again.
For advanced users, open PowerShell as Admin and run:
Get-NetFirewallRule | Where-Object { $_.Enabled -eq 'True' }- inspect rules for the target profile.
