Windows 10: Sky.com Email Denied access or 1 hour to wait . I have Nord vpn

Sky.com Email Denied access or 1 hour to wait . I have Nord vpn, any ideas

:)

 

W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy.

I have tried the following:

1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
   1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
   2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection

My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender)

So - any suggestions?

 

Vpn ( trusted Vpn)

Hi everyone.
I am not an expert about Vpn and that's why I would like to know if someone could list me a few trusted Vpns, I would really appreciate any suggestion/ advice.

Thanks.

 

Do I need Nord VPN? Would it be beneficial for me to install it? Windows 10

A friend has installed Nord VPN, likes it and suggests that I should install it too.

I'm unable to contact him at the moment so I don't know whether or not he has the free version or the 'paid for' version.

Also, the most expensive Norton package includes Nord VPN but as I no longer use Norton I've no idea what the benefits are.

What do the experts here think about it, please? Do any of them have it?
