Why Router Blocks some websites??
Hey Community, ALthough my router is working fine and giving great signal strength, but since two week it is blocking some website including Wikipedia, sometime youtube, a stitching website, and so...
The router has been administered by one of my knowledgeable friend, and the majority of the websites are now operational. However, two websites that I visit on a regular basis are still unavailable. My friend claims that the problem is with the websites rather than the router. However, I'm not sure because those websites work optimally on different networks.
It's completely insane. How is it possible that the website is down due to a router issue? With these pointless queries, you're wasting the time of this community. I'm a web developer, and I've never heard of or dealt with the problem you've stated.
I'm not sure why you're speaking in this way. I'm having an issue with my router because I'm using AC1900 and it's blocking several websites. I wrote here and spoke with one of my friends, and he made some adjustments, and the most of the websites began to work. However, three websites were still down, and he stated that it could be a website problem.
I did not believe in his statement as blocking website also include Wikipedia. I didn't know anything about networking, and as a result, I've been helpless since last week. I've provided links to websites that you can check out on your own.
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Maltese_general_election2. https://stitchingpure.com/best-sewing-and-embroidery-machine/
3. https://www.flightradar24.com/60,15/6
These are the sites which are not still accessible and I am going to share screenshots, so no one can say I am wasting the time of honorable community.What can I say but it's not a big issue to deal. Hopefully, your issue will be solve by the staff members.

The intervention from alexon is, indeed, puzzling. Heaven only knows why they are here.If anyone is wasting anyone's time, and rudely with it, it is alexon.
But I doubt very much if your router is blocking any websites.
By the way, there is no such thing as an AC1900. That's just a wifi speed indicator.
Those images look like something at your end, but it isn't likely to be the router.
Those errors can come from a browser that doesn't like the security settings on those sites, or it could be something in Windows. For example, if your Windows network is set as "public" it can try to protect you from "wicked" sites.
Does the same thing happen with different browsers?
Have you tried the ADVANCED button to see where that takes you?
