  1. Windows Firewall is Block a WEBSITE. Not a Program... a WEBSITE. How Do I Unblock the WEBSITE?


    I'm sick and tired of finding articles about how to allow Google Chrome through the firewall. That's already been done. But there is a SPECIFIC WEBSITE that I know for a fact is safe because I've both used it for years and have no problem being on it on other computers that I can only access on this computer by turning off my firewall.Is there a way to force a SPECIFIC WEBSITE through the firewall? If so, how?

    :)

    Windows Firewall blocking websites

    I have blocked IP addresses, e.g. 255.255.255.255, not URLs, e.g. somewebsite.co m.

    As far as unblocking, look at your Windows Firewall rules. Do you see anything that is blocked? If you do, click on the Scope tab and see what is listed there.

  3. How to Unblock Websites Besides Websites Filtering in Comodo Firewall 10

    If you have installed Comodo Firewall 10 in Windows 10, you may find that you suddenly cannot access certain websites like databases.000webhost.com.

    Adding your website to the Exclusions category in Websites Filtering in Comodo Firewall 10 may not help. Your website may still remain blocked.

    Your web browser may be able to give you a clue. In my case, it is the Comodo Secure DNS which is blocking the website. Simply disable Secure DNS in Comodo Firewall 10 and your website will be unblocked.

    It took me a few days to arrive at this solution.

    Windows Firewall is Block a WEBSITE. Not a Program... a WEBSITE. How Do I Unblock the WEBSITE?

    Windows Firewall blocking websites

    Windows Firewall can't block specific websites, only port numbers (HTTP uses 80 or 8080). More likely, Windows Firewall is blocking the Windows Update Service or some other critical update application and/or port number that prevents updates from happening.

    As twilyth pointed out, this is abnormal and likely caused by some form of malware. If you even found a the offending rule in Windows Firewall, the malware will likely put it back to the way it was within seconds.

    Does http://download.microsoft.com open for you? It should redirect a few times and end up at: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/default.aspx

    Have you tried to ping download.microsoft.com? I did it a few times so you should be able to get a response off it.
