    Hi, I wanted to bump this thread again because this issue came up again and I tried the VPN solution, only to find I think the VPN is being blocked as well. Some other things I found was blocked was any kind of voice chat data. Be it Zoom, Discord, or Whatsapp, I was able to connect to the...

    [SOLVED] Can connect to the internet on my wifi but no video games

    I have a friendly enough relationship with my landlady so I feel confident that I could solve my issue eventually, so I don't think getting my own internet is necessary.

    [SOLVED] Can connect to the internet on my wifi but no video games

    UniFiOS. I can't investigate much further than that since I don't own the router and the landlady gets nervous when I poke around it. I also investigated port forwarding for all the games I play and found that they all came up blocked on this website. 80 seems to be the only open port...

    Question External Hard Drive "A device which does not exist was specified" on Bootcamp only

    Question Can Installing More RAM Affect Networking?

    I just noticed twitch dropping connection on my work computer and I'm fairly certain now the problem must be further up the chain. Hopefully it's just my modem.

    I was hearing some light rattling from my PC so I decided to take it off the case cover and wipe it down with a paper towel.
