Access Denied "You do not have permission to access..."

Recently random unrelated sites have returned "Access Denied"  "You do not have permission to access...[URL]"  same sites, multiple computers in the same household.

I am not currently blocking any sites manually.  Rebooted/Reset (not factory) the router.  Flushed the DNS.  Contacted one of the affected websites (Steampowered.com).  They looked at their end and found nothing "Contact your ISP" was their reply.

Anyone else encountering this issue?

It even happens on some *.gov sites.  It didn't start that way, but now the list seems to be growing.

Hello VaultDweller, This sounds like a setting has defaulted on or was turned on in error. Are you able to take a laptop and direct connect it to the modem to perform a test to rule out any potential router settings? If not able to do so, you may need to default the router to see if this helps.

I had this problem, I found out that assigning yourself "Owner/Administrator privileges" and 'Allow Allin the settings area' might stop the Issue. Good luck!
