A firewall blocking a connection is a deliberate restriction configured on a firewall. A network issue is a problem with the underlying network infrastructure, such as a broken network cable, a faulty router, or an overloaded network. Firewalls can be bypassed with proper configuration, whereas network issues require physical or hardware troubleshooting.
