    It depends on the reason for the page being blocked. ' Allow' only allows the site for that SPECIFIC check. (ie: Web URL filtering, but not FortiGuard category filtering). Depending on what you have enabled it could be getting blocked by a different check. Check the logs to find out what exactly is blocking it, and why. The allow it where it is blocked. You could also use an EXEMPT action, but that would bypass ALL further checks and my not be what you want.

    First, try using a VPN, if it does not work then try to use update the browser, I am pretty sure that it is a problem with the internet and not with the device.

    Try a VPN first, and if that doesn't work, try updating the browser. I'm very confident the issue is with the internet rather than the device.
