how to see if wifi is blocking access to a specific website?
I'm sorry that I am a wireshark noob here. There are some websites in which my request times out when I try to access them and if I turn on my vpn, that same website works just fine. What can I look for in wireshark to see if its the router/wifi refusing connection to the website or something else that's causing it? (I am not here to learn how to circumvent restrictions, I just want to know what to look for in wireshark to confirm my suspicions?
Make a capture to a web site that works. This should/may show the TCP handshake, TLS negotiation (if HTTPS), data transfer and eventually closing the TCP connection. With this as a baseline, repeat for one of the sites that doesn't work. How far does it get in the process?
