Safari cant connect to server

Help me! Nothing is loading on safari on my macbook air… everything works but safari. Whenever i try to look something up i get “Safari Can’t Connect to the Server” I have restarted my mac, reloaded the page, cleared my history and cache and whatnot.. yet nothing is fixing it.

Boot into Safe Mode, and try again. That rebuilds caches, and temporarily disables problematic apps.


If there are any add-on VPN packages here, or add-on anti-malware, or add-on cleaner apps, or add-on ad-blocking apps, remove it all per the vendors’ instructions, restart, and try again.


If private relay is enabled (probably not, given your footer), see if disabling it resolves the access.
