Websites can be blocked at three levels: Computer level, Network level or the ISP/Governmental level. Some DNS services, such as Open DNS, too provide options to block certain types of websites for different users sharing the computer.

Check some of the options on your device (Computer or Mobile)
- Is the internet connection is OK?
- You are able to access some of the websites on the specific network but on the other network you can access all the websites. (Then you are sure about the blocking system, it's a Network Level Blocking)
- Taking so much time and after that showing a message (This site can't be reached) - Then it may be ISP/Governmental Level.
