It sounds like you can reach the website directly from a browser on that same computer? That means things are fine on AnkiWeb’s end, and it’s something else on your computer that is blocking your connection. Its sounds like you’ve checked a lot, but make sure you’ve checked everything.

> That is just a run-of-the-mill connection error – your computer can’t see the AnkiWeb server. Make sure you check everything – [Error establishing a secure connection when syncing - Anki FAQs](https://faqs.ankiweb.net/error-establishing-a-secure-connection-when-syncing.html) – and then try another internet connection if you can. Since you’re using a Mac, check on iCloud Private Relay too – it’s really a VPN.
