- Check whether it is only this device. Open the service on your phone using mobile data instead of Wi-Fi. If it works there, the problem is your home network or this computer, not the service.
- Try a private window. Open the site in a private (incognito) window. If it loads there, a browser extension or stale cookies are in the way: clear the site's cookies and cached files, then disable extensions one at a time.
- Try another browser. If the site works in a different browser, update or reset the one that fails.
- Restart the router and the device. Unplug the router for 30 seconds, plug it back in, wait until it is online again, then restart the computer. This clears stuck connections and gives you a fresh route to the service.
- Flush the DNS cache. Windows may still remember an old address for the service. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run the command below, then try again.
ipconfig /flushdns - Turn off VPN and proxy for a moment. VPN exit servers are often rate-limited or blocked. Disconnect the VPN, and in Settings > Network & internet > Proxy make sure no manual proxy is set.
- Change the DNS server. If the name still does not resolve, switch DNS in Settings > Network & internet > your connection > DNS server assignment to a public resolver such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
