The most direct question that addresses recent changes potentially influencing network behavior is inquiring about the last changes made to the firewall configurations. Changes in firewall settings can inadvertently block or interfere with expected network traffic, leading to connectivity issues. This aligns with the troubleshooting step of determining if anything has changed that might affect network performance. Other options, though possible influences, are less likely to be the immediate cause of issues following a server update compared to firewall adjustments, which directly manage network traffic.
