I suspect that SWA and increasingly more websites are using Akamai Client Reputation, or Cloudflare (or similar) "security" products that blacklist IP addresses and there are false-positives that are blocking honest users. See if you are also blocked from these: united.com tesla.com fidelity.com qantas.com delta.com aa.com If you see "waf" in the error message, it stands for Web Application Firewall. Sadly, the internet is trending this way. Hopefully, the companies will realize this is a broken system and stop using these blacklists from so-called "security experts". Possible solutions: a. Power-cycle your internet / ISP router. This may give you a different IP address. b. Use a VPN service to originate from a different IP address. c. Call your ISP, ask for a new IP address. d. Try browsing in Chrome's incognito mode (won't help if your IP is blacklisted) e. Tether to your smartphone and use LTE (a different IP address) f. Go to the library, starbucks, etc and use their internet connection (sigh) g. Complain to SWA and the others Search the web for: waf access denied for more info
