I have brave on the laptop too, but that's not listed as a supported browser. Maybe I will give it a shot anyway.

I would. I've had issues with my power and gas company recently. Was able to log in with FF in a private window. Sometimes browser extensions can cause issues. Ad blocking, cookie settings, its really absurd. Its a mess, this WWW thing.

@siggy47 could also be your IP address if you are using VPN. I have had issues with services blocking VPN IPs.

That's possible too. I haven't played around with vpn settings in a while though, and it has never caused problems before.

I mean, if it were me I'd turn off VPN to test it. Their site is encrypted. All your VPN is doing is preventing your ISP from seeing you went to that domain. Its a bank site so its likely very low risk.

If you wanted to be safer you could kill all your tabs and other online services before you "uncloak". That way those tabs aren't making connections your ISP will see.
