It sounds like you are experiencing network-related issues when trying to access Microsoft services without a VPN. Since you mentioned that some services work with a VPN, it could be related to network configuration or firewall settings on your system or network.
Here are a few potential causes and solutions:
- Firewall Settings: Ensure that your firewall is not blocking access to Microsoft services. You may need to check the firewall rules and allow traffic for specific Microsoft URLs or services.
- Network Isolation: If your computer is on a domain, network isolation settings might be affecting your ability to connect to certain Microsoft services. You can check if there are any Group Policy settings that restrict access.
- DNS Issues: Sometimes, DNS settings can cause problems accessing certain websites. You might want to try changing your DNS to a public DNS service like Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1).
- Browser Issues: Since you tested in multiple browsers, ensure that there are no extensions or settings in those browsers that could be blocking access.
- Network Configuration: If your network has specific configurations or restrictions (like a proxy), it might be worth checking with your network administrator.
If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for more detailed troubleshooting specific to your account or network setup.
