    INTERNET BLOCKED. “Security or firewall settings might be blocking…”


    Hello.

    (On Windows 10 Pro/64b v: 21H2) I’m trying to restore my internet connection. Troubleshooting reports, “Security or firewall settings might be blocking the connection.

    I have Malwarebytes turned off—but Windows Defender turned on (tried turning it off too—but no differene.)

    I’m really bad at troubleshooting. It's like Greek to me.

    Any advice?

    Have you been using any third-party tools to configure the Windows Firewall?

    Do you still get the same if you temporarily uninstall Malwarebytes?
