Cannot access web except through VPN

Hello all,

 

I have been having this problem since last night.  I cannot access webpages or connect to the internet with games on any device connected to my router (PC, Mac, Wifi, Hardwired, etc.).  I can ping different webpages (google.com) in the command prompt without problem.  I have tried to [telnet google.com 80] and it does not work.  I have tried restarting all devices, unplugging all devices, and all the usual fixes.

 

However, I can connect to my work's network through a VPN and subsequently browse just fine (through the VPN).  This is obviously not ideal, and I would like to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it.

 

Please let me know any other information that would be helpful.

 

Thanks!

Hello Tenrath

 

Have you tried to change your DNS to googles open DNS to see if it may be a DNS issue. googles DNS is 8.8.8.8 Secondary: 8.8.4.4
