[Solved] How to Fix 'The request is blocked' Error on LinkedIn or Microsoft

Are you seeing error messages like "The request is blocked," "Service unavailable," "Request denied" or "Account network blocked" when you try to visit LinkedIn? It can be really frustrating, especially if you rely on LinkedIn for networking, job hunting, or business opportunities. This usually happens because security software like Avast Antivirus unintentionally blocks the sites. In this post, I'll explain why this happens and offer a simple solution to get back on LinkedIn without compromising your online security.

Why Does This Happen?

You know, antivirus programs like Avast are meant to protect your computer from online threats by checking websites and stopping potentially harmful ones. But sometimes, this protection can be a bit too cautious, and it ends up mistakenly flagging safe websites like LinkedIn. The Web Shield component of Avast, in particular, can cause these errors, leading to all sorts of access problems on legitimate websites. A lot of folks have said they get error messages like "The request is blocked" when they try to get on LinkedIn.

Step-by-Step Solution

To resolve this issue without turning off your antivirus protection, you can simply add LinkedIn to Avast's Web Shield exceptions. This will allow LinkedIn to get through the Web Shield without affecting security checks for other sites.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open Avast Antivirus: Start by opening your Avast application. You can do this from your desktop, start menu, or system tray.

2. Navigate to Web Shield: Go to 'Explorer', select 'Web Shield', and click on 'Open Web Shield'.

3. Access Exceptions Settings: Within the Web Shield interface, locate and select 'Exceptions' and click on 'Add Exception'.

4. Add LinkedIn as an Exception: Now enter *.linkedin.com in the field provided to ensure all LinkedIn subdomains are included. This wildcard ensures the exception applies to both HTTP and HTTPS protocols of LinkedIn.

5. Save and Exit: After adding the URL, save your changes and exit the settings menu.

6. Test LinkedIn Access: Try accessing LinkedIn again. It should now load without triggering the previously encountered error messages like "The request is blocked," "Service unavailable," "Request denied," or "Account network blocked".

By setting an exception for LinkedIn in Avast's Web Shield, you're basically making sure that the site won't get blocked incorrectly, which is important for your professional work. It’s important to only make exceptions for websites you trust to keep your online activities secure.

Conclusion

With these steps, you can quickly restore access to LinkedIn and avoid common errors like "Account network blocked" and "Request denied." This post not only helps you tackle these specific issues but also enhances your understanding of how to manage your antivirus software to support rather than hinder your internet usage. Remember, it's crucial to keep your security settings updated and fine-tuned to balance safety with accessibility. 

Rest assured, you're not alone in this, and I'm here to help you comment below.

HTTPS For Blogger

Blogger with a custom domain and without SSL is nothing. You will lose your visitors as a search engine like Google will send your website back because HTTPS is essential, as search engines now need trust before sending a visitor to any link. If a site does not have HTTPS or SSL, a search engine like google or any other will try to send your website to the bottom or even off to any other pages, with this way, you will lose organic traffic. No matter how strong your content is, a search engine will not bring your site up if you don't have an SSL Certificate installed.

What is an SSL Certificate?

SSL Certificate installation is the process of installing a digital certificate onto your website or blog. SSL will ensure that all data transferred between you and your visitors are encrypted, making it difficult for hackers to steal sensitive information like credit card numbers.

Why is SSL Important?

SSL plays an essential role in SEO, and it's mandatory to have an HTTPS if you want to rank your website with various search engines like Google, Bing, Yandex, etc. Even almost all browsers are now issuing a warning message of "not secure" if your website doesn't have a valid SSL Certificate Installed.

According to SemRush

As of 2021, more than 500 million blogs exist out there, with more than 409 million visitors each month.  Users produce around 70 million new posts and 77 million new comments each month. Content marketing predicts to be an industry worth $412.88 billion.

Now, let's make it short you came here to know how to install an SSL certificate on your blogger blog or enable HTTPS on your blogger blog. Before moving on further, make sure in blogger in Settings find Publishing and confirm that Custom domain installed, and Redirect domain is active.

No please follow the below steps to install a free SSL certificate for the blogger blog.

Steps:

• Go to Settings
• Go down to HTTPS

You will see below HTTPS availability Status: No.

• Just turn on HTTPS availability, and you will see the Status Unknown.

• After this, refresh the page, and now you will see Status: Pending - HTTPS Availability is being processed. Try again later.

Now you have to wait for 5-10 minutes, and Google Trust Services LLC will issue you an SSL Certificate for Free Forever.

• Now refresh the page, and you will see Status is available.

• Now turn on the HTTPS redirects

And that's all. 

I know you must have some queries, but before you ask me a question, I'm trying to cover almost all of your questions here below. If you still have any questions, you can ask me in the comment section below.

Why is my blogger site not secure?

Because you did not enable HTTPS for your blogger, go to Settings, scroll down to HTTPS and turn HTTPS redirects.

Blogger HTTPS availability is Status unknown?

When you turn on HTTPS availability, the Status will become unknown, refresh the page, and you will see the result.

Blogger HTTPS not working?

Sometimes it happens when you google issue an SSL certificate, but you still see the HTTPS is not working, don't be panic. It will take some time, it can be up to 30minutes, and your certificate will become available globally. 

What to do when blogger SSL Error "Status: Pending - HTTPS Availability is being processed. Try again later?".

Don't be panic. Google is issuing an SSL certificate, and it may take a while.

How much time does blogger take to issue an SSL?

It will take 5-10minutes, but it can take up to 30minutes in rare cases.

It took more than 30 minutes. HTTPS availability status is still pending. What to do?

May any conflict happens, in this case, you have to verify certain things; first, check your custom domain is setup correctly and working, and make sure your custom domain is not expired. Then you have to turn off HTTPS availability and turned it on again after a minute. And then, wait for 5-10 minutes, and you will get your FREE SSL certificate for your custom domain in blogger.

HTTPS availability Status: Failed - HTTPS SSL Certificate failed to be processed?

This is the error when your domain is not properly working or DNS is removed, or not accessible or maybe you just recently change it to blogger, please give it some time, DNS normally takes 12hrs-72hrs to propagate properly. Once your domain working properly then you can simply Install HTTPS for your blogger.

Please Insert the CD-ROM [SOLVED]

Are you getting the error "Please insert the CD-ROM"? It's OK you can fix it, some people will share cracks and a lot of stuff to bypass this error, I will never recommend using EXE crack, such files have a virus, malware, rats and more harmful stuff.
So, what is the legit way to fix this issue? First please don't relate it to The House Of The Dead only,  It can occur on many other games as well such as Need For Speed II, Contra 1987, Aladdin 1993, Hercules 1997, Zuma Deluxe. I'm just using the THOTD game as an example.

How to fix "Please insert the CD-ROM"

This is very simple, all games that are developed in the 90's era or must require Direct X. In this modern era still, some games are using the old version of Direct X.
Download DirectX R and install DirectX (R) Once you did you will no longer receive this error.

How You Can Open Port / Forward Port On Any Modem - PTCL

An opening port is quite easy if you did everything perfectly. When I was trying to open port or forwarding a port I faced a lot of issues, First finding a good and accurate method on the internet in some cases is not easy, I tried on USB Dongle, I tried on DSL but unfortunately no success.

Sometimes windows firewall don't allow to Open a port, anyway, we will bypass that in this tutorial you have to follow me step by step to get rid of everything and open your port and enjoy.

Image source: openport.io

How to Forward/Open a Port

Step: 1

You need to have a software called Port Forward, click here to download it. Port Forward is trial software which will help us to bypass Windows firewall.

Step: 2

Login to your modem setting area, or modem panel. At my case my modem is PTCL, and panel URI is 192.168.10.1
After login, check your WAN Info and confirm it, which WAN Interface is connected, that assigned an IP to your computer.

Step: 3

Now go to Advanced Setup > NAT > Virtual Servers. Now you have to ADD a Virtual Server, Click on ADD

Step: 4

Now choose the WAN Use Interface which was connected in Step 2. 

You can Select a Service or you can put a Custom Service name. Keep the following setting.

• Custom Service = TestingPort
• Status = Enable
• External Port Start = 27051
• External Port End = 27051
• Protocol = TCP/UDP
• Internal Port Start = 27051
• Internal Port End = 27051

But, wait what about the Server IP Address: ?, We have to find it manually there are 2 ways to find it.

First: Open CMD and type ipconfig and hit ENTER

Under your network connection, IPV4 is your local machine IP address.

Second: Open your Network Properties. And you will find your IPV4 address there as well. I think the second one is more easy and accurate.

Now enter this IP Address into the Server IP Address, and click Apply/Save.

And that's all you did it.

Step: 5

Let's go and verify it. First, you have to verify it using PortForward Software that you download in Step 1.

Once you have checked your port using PortForward and you got the result OPEN, its mean your Port is available to the public on the internet, so they can access your port using the public IP address and Port. You can check your port on various sites here I'm checking it with https://portchecker.co
