What does happen when Internet Access is blocked?
There will be two scenarios:
- When you use your mouse pointer to the Wi-Fi sign then, an error message appears on the screen. This message says “No Internet Access”, “Connected to Wi-Fi but No Internet”. This error message means there is some error from the router/modem connection. In such a case, it is advisable to find the error message before moving ahead with the solution.
- In this scenario, you will see the error message “Internet Access is blocked”, “Internet Access Denied”. And you will be able to access other application which requires an internet connection to work. It means there is BullGuard Firewall behind this error message which is blocking internet access. Well, if it is a firewall behind the denied access then, there must be a security issue with the internet.

Whatever the reason is there behind blocked Internet access, the main and simple solution is to restart your PC. Restarting the system solves many issues and if there is a minor issue, it can be fixed by restating the system.
