I have been battling with a strange situation over the best part of last 6 months where some websites I cannot access such as PayPal Ikea.
I believe the problem started when I synced my Google Chrome at work which manages all sorts of internet settings - basically you get a message “setting managed by work” or similar under chrome and that happened to my home PC. I managed to disengage this by unsync and also reset the group policy on my PC. However some websites access remained patchy. Ie error message would show up saying “Can’t be reached check proxy setting etc”.
this problem persisted through a new build computer - as soon as i signed into chrome it appeared again. So I believe chrome must have held some settings that stipulated by my work place. Anyway long story short, it messed things up, I even tried disable proxy clearly data and cookies all sorts. Sometimes things will work and sometimes it won’t.
so I found out that if I disable the Proxy setting in windows 10 to off rather than automatically and do a “netsh winsock reset” in command prompt and restart the PC I get all my connectivity back.
ao hopefully this helps someone.
