Question Some websites do not open when my Firewall is activated

[pcccc]

I use Evorim Firewall.
Some websites do not open when my Firewall is activated

Anyone knows what could be the problem?

 

[rgd1101]

firewall blocking the site and/or anything the site might be using

When did it start ? Anything changed e.g. software apps, browser etc.

 

[pcccc]

It happens every now and then..I dont think I have changed things

Why are you using this particular firewall, over the one built-in Windows?

The vast majority of users DO NOT need an additional firewall. You have some protection via your router and the Windows firewall does the rest, in most cases.

No firewall will save you if you do risky things.

What anti-virus/anti-malware app are you using?

 

[KingLoki]

Does it happen on random websites or the same sites each time there's the problem?

 

[pcccc]

The same sites.

I did this leaktest
https://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm

and the Evorim Firewall indeed prevented the leaktest, so it helps
I do not use an Anti virus app
Sometimes I scan the Laptop with malwarebytes

 

[rgd1101]

sound like you need to contact evorim

 

[COLGeek]

The same sites.

Not even Windows Defender (built-in anti-virus)?

 

[pcccc]

Yes, I use Windows Defender too

Good. That is an anti-virus/anti-malware app.

What source do you use for DNS?

What source do you use for DNS?

Is this this number at IP4v-Dns-Server?

You do know that the "Leaktest" is from 2002, last updated 2008.
16 years old.

What it does and tests for is entirely non-transparent.

oh I didnt know that

Yes. If not already using Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), change and see how your issue acts.

@USAFRet is spot on, you are relying on an old tool that really doesn't tell you much with a modern OS.

It helps to know what tools you're using, and their relevancy.

Good. That is an anti-virus/anti-malware app.

What source do you use for DNS?

the number is 192.168.1.1, do I have to change it?

 

[COLGeek]

the number is 192.168.1.1, do I have to change it?

That is your internal address for the router. You can change the DNS in the router. You can also change in your network adapter settings.
