Why is my girlfriend's PC blocking certain websites?

Asked by TechieTraveler92
We recently moved to Spain, and my girlfriend's PC has been having issues accessing certain websites. Initially, it wouldn't open local government sites or monday.com, and now it can't even access Behance or Pinterest. We've tried a bunch of solutions that I've read about, including using command prompt, checking for host file blocks in system 32, and reinstalling the browser, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I appreciate any help!

Try manually changing the DNS server to 8.8.8.8. It can sometimes resolve website access issues.

Have you tried rebooting the router? That can often help fix connectivity problems.

You might want to check if you can access those websites using different devices, like your phones or even through a VPN. If they load fine, then it could be an issue with your Wi-Fi network itself.
