Does anyone know how to fix this.

After the last round of BBL I've been unable to load the website from my home network.

I can load from my phone but only when I go off wifi from my home network.

I don't have an issue with any other site.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

That's me done if that doesn't work. :LOL:

I occasionally have trouble connecting to the site, I usually run an anti-spyware sweep in case I've picked up a trojan.
also clearing browsing history for all time can help clear some crap out.
I also reset router and my nbn box on the wall (Turn off and leave off for a good minute).
I think with the way browsers are these days, we pick up a lot of unwanted hangers on in the system that slows our computers down that needs to be dumped regularly. Hope that helps.

That's step 1,
Step 2 wiggle the cords
Step 3 Ctrl + Alt + Delete
Step 4 call IT

Thanks. Still no go.
It's weird because it's the only site I can't reach.

All ideas are welcome.

Try to clear Browser history.

make sure your time and date on the computer is correct. Had this one before was a year behind somehow haha (turned auto time/date off)

change web browsers to see if that's the problem.

Did you run the windows network diagnostic and check the firewall settings like the instructions said?...maybe you can manually enter the site's URL to bypass the firewall? I'm no expert though, just spitballing. Did you do any updates recently? Sometimes things go out of whack after them. Windows 11 help seems to be better than past ones, keep trying to troubleshoot, 'can't connect to site' topics.
good luck.

I've clear the browser a few days back. This was a pain because I had to go in the hunt for passwords 😂

I'll try the clock when I get back in front of it. I've done this before when needing to sync.

Done everything.
YouTube vids, etc.

Only this site.

I'm wondering if my IP has been blocked by site admins🤔
No reason why it should be, but it may have been accidentally.

Done everything that been said to do in router, network, computer etc.
It's not the computer, as it doesnt load from any device through my home wifi, so it's got to be something there.

Thanks all for helping out. I'll keep at it.
In the mean time I'll hotspot from my phone if I need to.

Did you try switching browsers as Damion suggested? In the past I've found some sites I can only access via one of Chrome, or Firefox or Edge or whatever, and it will not work on others for some unknown reason. If it's not working on multiple browsers, it does seem like it could be an IP thing, but I'm not really up with technology.

Have tried a few different browsers. None successful. It's not allowing me access from any browser on any device on my home network. weird

Two things to try.
1. If you have a VPN turn that on for another location in the world, and see whether that solves the problem.
2. Go to your network settings and change your DNS from auto to manaul and enter either 8.8.8.8 (google) or 1.1.1.1 (cloud flare).

I changed and flushed DNS yesterday. 😊

I don't have a VPN, but am thinking that might work as I'm thinking that would be similar to going off my home network. I've seen some free VPNs but not really keen to use them long term.

Temporary problem solved for now though.
I'm using Tor. It works.

So must be an issue with not accepting my IP, as it's not from 1 device but all. And works by bypassing my home network ☹️

It's a temporary fix, definitely don't want it to be long term.

It's definitely an IP issue, hence the solutions I gave you. I checked from my IT brother before posting solutions.
