Chrome OS Firewall

[tob_ewalker]

I have an HP laptop here running Chrome OS v63. It is blocking access to the Natwest Online Banking website giving a firewall/proxy message. How can I fix this? I've seen this article http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-2394870/configure-firewall-settings-chromebook.html but this is for an older version of Chrome OS, and I can't see any way to get to the system settings.
Thank you

What is the exact message you get on NW site? Does it require any plugins to be installed?

This site can't be reached

The connection was reset

Try:
- Checking the connection
- Checking the proxy and the firewall
- Running Connectivity Diagnostics

ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

This is a known issue with the Natwest Online Bank, and from my experience anyway, on machines using McAffee Firewall, but I can't find any way to access the firewall settings to get round this issue.

Thank you

I too have started having the same problem as tob_ewalker when I try to log into TD Bank online using my Chromebook. I get a similar error message - which is:

This site can’t be reached

easyweb.td.com took too long to respond.

Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Connectivity Diagnostics
ERR_TIMED_OUT

There is nothing wrong with my WiFi connection. My signal strength is 71. I also ran the Connectivity Diagnostics and everything passed. I have a direct internet connection (no proxy). The only thing I can't do (or know how to do) is check Firewall settings on a Chromebook. I don't even know if Chromebooks have (or even need) Firewall settings.

I wish I had an answer for you. I don't have access to any other operating systems to see if it's just a Chrome OS issue, but am hoping that if you or anyone else reading this have found a solution to this problem that you will send it my way. Many Thanks!
