There may be some device on your network that's being abused as a residential proxy by "AI" companies, causing you to get caught in scraper block waves. A lot of sketchy mobile apps especially tend to bundle this kind of malware. Have a look at whether anything is using an inexplicable amount of bandwidth (doesn't have to be big, just bigger than expected).

What you describe cant be the reason because then the "access denied" would happen whatever the browser used is.
