Hello everybody,
I have a network problem on my win10 laptop. I can't browse almost all website on any browser I have.
I had CyberGhost6 (vpn program) installed, and one day I couldn't browse internet without it being run. Maybe I had shutdown the pc with it running resulting in some settings being corrupted. I tried starting a session then terminating it properly, but that solved nothing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CyberGhost6 several times and trying some of the solutions that will be mentioned below, still no success. Now it is uninstalled, and I am planning to solve this problem without resolving to resetting my windows as I have my midterms coming near and I use a lot of my installed programs.
Note that I can ping the website using either ip or name and get a proper response (no timeouts).
I tried to tracert google.com, it was successful on the 13th hop (as I recall) and had 2 or 3 timeouts.
What I have tried so far:
- use all sorts of flshdns commands and scripts I found as solutions.
- all netsh commands (resetting tcp/ip and what not)
- disabled all proxy settings (none where existent though)
- tried using automatic dns settings, Google public dns, and OpenDns
- checked hosts file
- disabled firewalls (only windows firewall though)
- scanned with MalwarebyteAntimalware, nothing was found
and some other stuff I found online and can't remember now.
It goes without saying that this problem is limited only to my laptop, as I am typing this on my brother's laptop. Hence, not an ISP problem.
If I install CyberGhost6 now, and run the service, I would be able to browse normally again. However, life with a vpn isn't actually great: no full speed, ping would be higher in games (depending on your luck with the country you are routed to), and there is a wait to get the free service.
Any help would be appreciated, I've been at it for the past 2 days and still can't find a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I tried uninstalling then reinstalling network adapter driver and it did't work. Also entering safe mode with networking allows me access to all websites normally. I also recall I had this problem couple of months ago, solved it by adding a rule to the firewall of some sort (adding a port I think), however I can't recall where I found it and what it was actually.
