Hello fellow Ubuntu users,

I use Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. Normally this could be a duplicate, but it's not the same as others i came up when googling.

So, my problem is with the steam website(store, community) and the client i have installed on ubuntu. Both when i connect to the website or i open the steam client i have already installed give me the error:

Access Denied, you dont have permission to access "http://steamcommunity.com/" on this server. Reference #18.45496768.1625514946.1b02d5b

Clues:

  1. I can ping to steam from terminal and packets come and go normally.
  2. I cant connect to steam even from my cellphone when on wifi. It gives me the same error. But i can connect normally through mobile data. So i guess it's the wifi problem.
  3. I noticed this problem a couple of days ago. So i snapshoted back with Timeshift at before i had this problem, yet to no avail. So something i installed is probably not the problem.
  4. I cleared the DNS cache. Not a solution
  5. I noticed the problem after i installed apache2 and php, but because of 3) i crossed out this reason.

Any other ideas? I would be very gratefull.

Thank you in advance, for your effort.

UPDATE Ok. The idea just came to me a couple of mins after posting this. I restarted the router and everything seems to work normally. I will keep this thread open for anyone else that may help.

This doesn't look like an Ubuntu problem, but a problem with your network or ISP. If you similarly couldn't access the site on your phone, then it's extremely unlikely that the problem has anything to do with Ubuntu: it would have to be a very improbable coincidence that both Ubuntu and your phone have the same problem

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
