"Safari can't open website due to no wifi connection" That's the message I get when searching for a site using Safari. Yet if I turn to the Chrome browser or DuckDuckGo browsers, the page loads and no it's not restricted
What is the clue?
Check network settings
Certain network settings, such as those related to using a proxy server or custom DNS server, can affect access to content on the internet. Even if you haven't changed your network settings, you might have installed software that changed those settings for you.
If Safari doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected
If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected - Apple Support
System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced > Proxies
Unlock the lock at bottom left corner.
If any Proxies is turned on click it to turn off.

Thanks for the response but those settings options are not on my iphone. The instructions you gave me was for a Mac. I'll try to find it again but I can't find proxy settings in wi-fi network.
Thanks
Update: I did find a network toggle switch and I turned it on and went back to using Safari and it worked! Faster too'
Thanks a bunch!
Safari says can't open site due to no wifi connection yet my chrome and DuckDuckGo browsers do
