This is likely due to the fact that your firewall is blocking outbound traffic on the ports 443, 43594 and 43595. To sort this follow the below steps:

You will need to consult your user manual/ help topics for the specific settings needed by your security programs/firewall/router.

  1. Please add exceptions for the following domains in your firewall:
  2. *.runescape.com, .Runescape.com
  3. In particular, ensure that the following ports are unrestricted for both Inbound and Outbound TCP traffic:443, 43594, 43595
  4. To make it easier to check if this affecting you, there's a program called 'ShieldsUP' that you could use that will tell you if those ports are open or not.
