Firewall settings blocking WeTransfer uploads
I'm a very basic user here with very little insight on how routers/networks work.
I got the router, added a plan and started using it almost a year ago. Everything was working fine but then recently (about a month ago) I started to notice issues uploading/downloading files from WeTransfer.
This week, I started to get an error message when I use WeTransfer telling me that my firewall settings are blocking wetrasnfer.
I logged into my router's web management page checked:
Security > firewall & Dos: IPv4 and IPv6 firewalls both enabled, DoS protection disabled
Service Filtering: disabled
Access control: disabled
IP and MAC binding: disabled
IPv6 Firewall: no entries added
WeTransfer's guide on configuring firewalls says:
WeTransfer uses HTTPS (port 443) for secure communication and QUIC protocol for faster, more efficient transfers. QUIC is the transport layer for HTTP/3 and runs over UDP, which means your firewall should allow both TCP traffic on port 443 and UDP traffic on port 443. This combination gives you the security of encrypted connections with the speed benefits of modern web protocols.
But I'm not sure how I can use this information to troubleshoot this issue.
I tried to disable the firewalls (IPv4 and IPv6) but that still didn't solve it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
