Find out how to fix Android TV Box cannot access some websites problem with this simple tip.

I am using a T95Z Plus Smart TV Box via both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browser.

When I tried using Google Chrome, I have problem accessing certain websites which include lookmovie.io, fmovies.to, fmovies.wtf, and the Chinese streaming site ifsp.tv.

When I clicked on the Google search results, it showed these remarks:

This site can’t be reached www.ifsp.tv took too long to respond.

Try:

Checking the connection

Checking the proxy and the firewall

Running Windows Network Diagnostics

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT  

When I clicked on the "Details" button, it says:

Check your Internet connection

Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.

Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.

If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list and adding it again.

If you use a proxy server…

Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to the Chrome menu > Settings > Show advanced settings… > Change proxy

Well, I tried as suggested by Chrome, but I still could not fix the problem.
