Well, this is basically saying, “Hey, whatever proxy you’re using, I’m having a hard time getting to this website through it.”

Why is there a proxy?

Can you remove the proxy?

There is no proxy - its a direct connection out

Weirdly it now seems to work in anything other than Chrome or Edge

Could be Malware.

I would verify your internet settings with each and make sure something didn’t set a proxy asap.

I ditched Chrome or I’d walk you through it.

Edge might share the same configuration as Internet Options(?) maybe.

Oh for Edge, Click Start type proxy. You should get a link to Proxy settings in the wannabe control panel aka Settings.

Its magically started to work now in all browsers. (Not made any changes)

Cheers for your help

Happy days, same message again. Its very intermittent

I have even gone out through our other internet link and same issue.

Ok, but have you checked for proxy settings just in case…?

Yep, all proxy is off. I have ran malware scan and the computer is clean. I have also tried on a new laptop. Very strange
