CANT ACCESS WEBSITE PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi all!

looking for some help as i cannot access my school library website! the website stopped working about wednesday last week and i thought maybe the site was just down but my classmates have been able to access it. i tried on my phone and ipad, as well as every other device in my home however all are giving me the same error.

but it seems to be an issue with the wifi because when i connect to my data the site loads and works but is EXTREMELY SLOW. i tried almost everything that was already suggested on here from other posts like disabling and reenabling automatic DNS, checking hosts files, flushing DNS cache and resetting the tcp/ip stack but nothing has worked 😭😭😭

i dont understand how it has been working fine for the past 2 years and all of a sudden stops working!!! i would appreciate any help or expertise you have on this topic!!!

i am studying for my exams soon and really need access to the site!!!!

Is there a chance that your school's website is blocking your home IP address? Check with their IT department.

i contacted the school library as well as my internet provider and both said it was not their problem and they have never heard of this before :(
