Fix 1: Try Different Browsers

Sometimes, a browser may block particular pages so that you can’t access successfully. You can try to open this page on different browsers. If you can open the web page on other browsers, the problem might be caused by the browser itself. If it is still not accessible, try the methods in the following content.

Fix 2: Temporarily Disable the Firewall

The Firewall on your computer might stop you from accessing some websites. You can disable the Firewall temporarily to have a try.

Step 1: Type Control Panel into the Windows Search bar and hit Enter to open the window.

Step 2: Choose System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall.

Step 3: Select Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off on the left pane.

Step 4: Tick Turn off Windows Defender Firewall (not recommended) and click OK to save the change.

After this, you can try to access the same page to see if the website is blocked still. If you can reach the page, this problem is caused by the Firewall settings.

But disabling the Firewall will make your computer vulnerable. If you frequently visit this page and the site is trusted, you can allow this URL in Windows Firewall or add it to the whitelist of Windows Firewall. This page tells the detailed steps to add a specific URL on the Firewall.

Fix 3: Change the DNS

DNS, the Domain Name System, can translate recognized domain names to the corresponding IP addresses, which helps load the internet resources. You can change your DNS to Google’s DNS to try to access the web page.

Step 1: Type network connections into the Windows search bar and press Enter to open the window.

Step 2: Right-click on Ethernet and choose Properties from the context menu.

Step 4: In the Use the following DNS addresses section, set Preferred DNS as 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS as 8.8.4.4.

Step 5: Click Save to save and apply the changes.

You can use a proxy server to fix the page blocked by an administrator problem. A web proxy server works as an intermediary to connect your devices and the web page. There are many web proxy services online; thus, you can choose one you like to try to access the web page.
