What could be a problem if users on the trusted network cannot browse internet websites?

The default Outgoing policy has been removed and there is no policy to allow DNS traffic.
The HTTP-proxy policy has higher precedence than the HTTPS-proxy policy.
The HTTP-proxy policy is configured for the wrong port.
The HTTP-proxy allows Any-Trusted and Any-Optional to Any-External.

The correct answer is: The default Outgoing policy has been removed and there is no policy to allow DNS traffic.

If users on the trusted network cannot browse internet websites, a likely issue could be the removal of the default Outgoing policy without having another policy in place to allow DNS traffic. DNS (Domain Name System) is essential for translating human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the network. Without a valid policy that allows DNS lookups, user requests to access websites will not be able to resolve the domain names, which means users won't be able to connect to the sites even if other policies are configured correctly. This situation directly impacts the ability to browse the internet, making it a significant and likely cause of the problem. To troubleshoot the browsing issue effectively, it's important to ensure that the necessary policies for both outgoing internet access and DNS traffic are correctly configured and active.
