Fox News
My entire family cannot access the foxnews.com website or even thru their apps on phones or tablets, all Apple. We get a message “unable to connect” and “Check your internet connection and try again”. I figured Firewalla is blocking it due to tracking cookies or other stuff in routing or DNS. At other times, we will get the headlines/story but no videos, then hit refresh again, you get nothing at all but the same “Try again” message.
I have also confirmed on my home pc that is connected via Ethernet only and that error message saying “www.foxnews.com refused to connect & “ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED”.
I have turned off Ad Block, thinking it might be that blocking and still no luck. Is there anything else blocking it in Firewalla, bad DNS or somewhere else to look at?
Any thoughts appreciated!

First, firewalla does not block anything by default. What you need to do is look at this quick article and see if you can find the rule that may be blocking, https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050255274-What-to-do-when-you-can-t-access-certain-websites
Also, if you are running VPN, using any blocking DNS outside of the Firewalla ... turn them off as well.
