Can’t access website from my network: Causes and Fixes

Your network may be having issues and causing some websites to be inaccessible. This can be caused by various reasons, such as your VPN, proxy, or firewalls.
So, in this article, we will explore a few solutions to help you fix this issue.

• Some websites are not accessible because of a network connectivity problem.
• Your computer might not be connected to the wireless network, or it might lack the proper credentials.

Is the website my network?

1. Some websites have network restrictions, so you might need to log in from your wireless network, instead of your Wi-Fi.
2. Try accessing a website from a public computer.
   
3. Is the website blocked due to parental controls?
4. Some websites might have restrictions on them, so try accessing them from another computer.
5. Is the website block due to a certain browser?

Look up the websites IP address

1. The IP address is the unique number that identifies the network resource.
