It seems ever since my laptop updated to Windows 11, I get this error for trying to access Costco or Lego.

Why doesn't work

I had a microsoft update yesterday and now I am getting an "access denied" error message by lowes, costco home depot and others.

EdgeSuite.Net is run by MarkMonitor Inc. I suspect that traffic is being proxied by them. This just happened to me as well.

Hopefully, you have had a chance to read through the previous entries. There is a lot of good information in there. Personally, it appears my issue is resolved now. I just read yesterday (5/14/2024) that both Microsoft (Windows and Edge) and Google Chrome announced mitigations for key Zero Day threats. All should install these right away. Everyone should run Windows Update and Update your browsers (Chrome and/or Edge). Also, run virus scans (my system has yet to report a virus).

My system must have been infected as a result of one of these. The result of the infection is the IP for my WiFi router was getting blacklisted by one site. Then I would have partial or full access to certain sites blocked (eg, Costco, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, ...). This is a result of the issue with Windows or the browser.

In order to restore access, I needed to get a new IP address. This can be challenging, but here are some options.

1. Call your internet provider and ask for a new IP Address. I couldn't get mine to do this for me.
2. Change the MAC address on your wifi router. I did this and it worked.
3. If you have mesh routers with multiple nodes, you can swap one in place of the main router which is hardwire connected to your modem. Look up how to do this as the steps may be different based on your router. I ended up doing this.

Note that I ended up needing to get new IP address many times as the problem recurred because the root of the problem wasn't fixed. I also blocked devices in my house to try and narrow down the problem. This did not prove useful. I have three PCs and not sure which one(s) is the problem.

This is not a network issue, it is a windows issue affecting login from PC's / laptops and is only a recent issue. This is a microsoft issue as from what i can see, this problem has only existed for the past month or so and extends across many websites. The common link here is Windows 11 and possible updates made over the past month or so.

I have always been able to access foxtel home page from my laptop using a variety of connection points but recently i cant even get to the home page. I have no problems accessing other websites. As stated, if i try to access the Foxtel Home page (www.foxtel.com.au) i get the following message;

You don't have permission to access "http://www.foxtel.com.au/index.html" on this server.
