WININET_E_NO_DIRECT_ACCESS

WININET_E_NO_DIRECT_ACCESS is a WinINet HRESULT. It means that WinINet cannot reach the Internet directly for this operation. A proxy may be required, the network route may be unavailable, or policy may prohibit direct access.

What to check

Check the active proxy, VPN, DNS and routing configuration for the account that runs the application.
Use the organization-approved proxy configuration when direct access is not allowed.
Confirm that firewall and network policy permit the destination and the required outbound protocol.
