No vpn
Kind of a dumb question, but when you said "switch off the Cox Wifi" did you mean your Wi-Fi in general or were you specially connecting to "Cox Wifi" the hotspot?

I disable wifi in my phone's Internet settings so that it would connect to the Google Fi 5G network. I've not been to another location with a different wifi network so I determine if I have the same issues.
I just used Avast to scan the Cox Panasonic router/modem, but no malware was found.

Do you have Advanced Security enabled by any chance? Also, when did this start happening? Since getting service or a new gateway or something more recent? Last, do all the errors mention the HTTP version of the site?
Sorry for all the questions but this is a tricky one.

It's a tricky problem indeed. The sites where I get the message are ones I use frequently and the problem seems to progressively get worse. On the Holland America site for example I start having problems after using the site for a while and then I started getting the access denied message when going to the site. But sites like Amazon work just fine.
The only recent change I made was to add a range extender, but I removed that a few days ago and the problem did not go away
Yes, oddly all the error messages refer to "http" even though the link is https. I get the error whether I use a bookmark or search result link.
Advanced Security is not enabled. Since enabling it allows one to manual grant access to sites, is this a potential option to try?
BTW have tried restarting the Panasonic modem/router several times.
