Explanation

If users can access local network resources but not the internet, the most likely culprit is a misconfigured or missing default gateway. The default gateway routes traffic from the local network to external networks (I .e., the internet). If it's not properly set or was altered during a firewall update, internet traffic won't be forwarded correctly.
