Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue loading a website on both my PC and Mac. It works perfectly on my phone over Wi-Fi. I've tried various browsers, disabled antivirus, cleared cache and cookies, even used a VPN, but the problem persists. My home network seems to be blocking it, though. I checked my modem settings and none of the MAC addresses are blocked. A ping test confirms connectivity. My friend was able to access the site on his laptop, so the issue isn't with the site itself. I'm not sure what else I should try. Thanks for your help!

Recent news: my brother's computer can load the page, meaning it's only my PC and MacBook.

The same browser runs on both devices, but the DNS servers differ. Your friend likely uses identical DNS settings across all their systems.

Chrome works fine; the issue isn't DNS. My laptops connect to the site via ping commands. What I suspect is that the site is blocking my laptops' MAC addresses because I frequently use Adblock, even though it shows warnings about ad-blocking.

Searching online indicates it's improbable since your MAC address isn't readily accessible.
