    Maybe I am not asking the right question. It would be nice to talk to a human being.

    Hi Carrie Patrick,

    If you're using Microsoft Edge on Android, the message may be related to your device's network or security settings rather than a Windows firewall. Since the exact error isn't provided, try these quick checks:

    1, Verify Edge has network access

    • Open Settings > Apps > Microsoft Edge > Mobile data & Wi‑Fi.
    • Ensure network access is allowed.

    2, Test another connection

    • Switch between Wi‑Fi and mobile data.
    • Check whether the website loads on a different network.

    3, Disable VPN or security apps temporarily

    • If you use a VPN, firewall, or security application, temporarily turn it off and test again.

    4, Try the website in another browser

    • Open the same site in Chrome or another browser to determine whether the issue is specific to Edge.

    If the website still doesn't open, please share the exact error message shown in Edge and whether the issue occurs on one website or multiple websites. That information will help identify the correct solution more quickly.

    I hope this helps point you in the right direction. Let me know if you need further assistance, feel free to ask me by clicking "Add Comment" or "Add Answer" if you cannot add comment so your response will be visible. Thanks for your effort.
