Access Denied On Some Websites

It happens for Lowe's and CVS websites when I try to do a product search (see attached screen shot as an example). Home Depot says, "Oops! Something went Wrong". I tried the computer at the library and the same thing happens.

 

https://www.cvs.com/

https://www.lowes.com/

works for me.

Try this clear your web history.

Than go to start type CMD for command prompt.

While in command prompt type ipconfig /flushdns

Than restart.

See if that fix's the issue.

 

I occasionally get messages like this when I'm working from behind a VPN. A quick disconnect and I'm off and running.

 

If you are running an ad blocker like uBlock Origin, whitelist those sites.

 

i run like ublock / ad guard and adblock plus did not have any issues in Firefox nightly.

every thing loaded up fine for me.

Here is a link if you want to try it.https://www.firefox.com/en-US/channel/desktop/

They all so have nightly for android as well and can use the same adblockers.

I all so have google don't track me as well and a bunch of other stuff for you tube.

Oh and FYI nightly is updated all most every other day.

 

DNS flush didn't help. Since the library computer does the same thing, perhaps it's a ISP issue since they use the same one as I do. Another search suggested I may need a new IP address since these sites my be flagging my address as malicious. I don't know why they would.

It may also help to know I have a really old desktop running Windows 7. My browser ids Firefox 115.35.2 esr (64-bit). I only have Firefox and Internet Explorer installed. I hesitate to use IE, though.

 

Firefox ESR is up to 140.10.2. Ah, I see, you're restricted to the 115 branch because of Win 7. It requires at least Win 10 to update to the 140 branch.

From a security point of view..... ouch.

 

Command prompt cmd.

I would reset modem and the wifi router at the same time

Then do this command and restart.

This will release the IP
ipconfig /release

This will renew the IP
ipconfig /renew

I would all so reset the modem and router as well for a new IP and see if that works.

Most modems newer will take about 5 mins to reboot.

When you type "ipconfig /renew" into the command line, that command orders your DHCP client to renegotiate an IP address lease with the DHCP server on your router. On a Windows computer.

 

it can just have to find a older version.
List of older builds that can be downloaded goes back to 2004.
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/

I would have to test it in a VM but i think the 8.0 versions do work in windows 7

And i am sure they would auto update to the latest version which is 152.a1

 

@plodr, try here:

https://archive.org/download/brave-browser-for-windows-8.1-and-7

Dunno if it'll work for you or not, but it was the only one I could find that looked promising.

 

Your original screenshot says you were using http - change this to use https.

 

Their OS is Windows 10 and they have Firefox and Chrome installed. I am also getting access denied on Ace Hardware. I can open the main website okay on the problem sites, it's when I do a product search that I get the error. Since the library is having the same issue, might it be our ISP that is the problem?

 

I will try Chrome at the library when I am there again. I don't have a cell phone.

Thanks to all who suggested help methods.

 

I tried the library computer today and it did a Lowe's and Home Depot product search fine.

 

Well, I AM puzzled. Why a search on some business sites suddenly won't function. Business like Dollar General and Family Dollar work fine (so far). A consensus of opinions about my issue is 1) I have an old browser which is a high security rick and sites using a certain security checker won't allow it, and 2) My internet address has been targeted as malicious for some resson.

I'm an older person and not very tech savvy. I've been think of getting a new desktop, but not sure I could set it up. When I moved, the ISP technician set it up. It's a real spaghetti junction of cables behind there:

 

That Computer needs a cleaning badly.If you have the money buy a Can of compressed Air and Dust it off.Looks like it's starving for AIR.You have to open the case up make sure it's unplugged and off.

You can order them here https://www.amazon.com/canned-air/s?k=canned+air there are all so ones that are electric.

That cable is normal as far as i can tell.

It might be a good idea to call spectrum it's possible they might need to replace router i had to do that recently.Have them run test on it.

 

I ran a speed test on the router:
