Blocked from certain domains. WNDR4300 Router

I have encountered a problem that I can't solve with my router. It seems I am blocked on some domains for some reason and the problem seems to be with the router. I get the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED on chrome on sites such as Dxomark.com, but also on various other sites. I can access the sites if I connect my computer directly to the modem so the router seems to be the problem.

 

I have no sites blocked and parental controls are disabled. I have tried changing DNS server to google DNS both on the router and in Windows settings. I have tried changing various WAN settings such as MTU size. I can't seem to find a setting for disabling DNS proxying on the router as has been suggested. I know this question has come up before but none of the solutions have worked for me.

I just performed a factory reset (how stupid of me to not try this before!) and it have solved my issue!

Welcome to the community, @KristofferB

 

When did the issue happen?

Are you using the latest firmware of the router?

Did you try reinstalling the firmware?

If you have not, try that and see if it will help.

Hello, and thanks for the reply. Difficult to say when it happened, but it has been at least 6 months. I installed the latest firmware a couple of days ago but that didn't help. What do you mean by reinstalling firmware and how do I do that?
