Access Denied You don't have permission to access

hi, anytime i try to access anything on steam i get:
 

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://store.steampowered.com/" on this server.

Reference #18.dc35068.1678051805.234ee6e8

this has been ongoing for at least a week now. i can access via mobile network, so i know it's not my steam.

Try switching off your router for 30 mins or so. You ‘should’ get allocated a different IP address, as it is possible the one you have now has been blocked at some point recently by Steam (not by anything you have done but by a previous user of that address)

ok that works for about a week, then i have to do it all over again... i have a steamdeck too, so it become useless when this happens.

Sorry to hear that mrtoffeewinks. I’m not an online gamer, nor these days a Windows user,  so can’t be more specific but I’ve found some suggestions here which you can try and hopefully will give you a solution
