Access Denied Web Page

@leocg So, how were these issues resolved...by contacting the offending company's servers, or by doing something locally from within Windows or Opera?

What is it that the distant server is seeing on my end that made it decide to deny me access, if you might take a guess?

@bbildman They mention various possible solutions like checking date and time, disable firewall/antivirus, changing system settings, etc

@leocg Thank you so much for responding, Leo.

Couple more observations/questions:: My wife's laptop with Opera and Chrome installed both do the same thing. Opera's Aetna try to open the login page gives the same Access Denied response; Chrome allows the signin to go forward. In the light of this, if this is a Windows issue, why then does Chrome work and Opera not?? I think that if this is a setting within the Windows 7 framework, Chrome would also be prevented from accessing the login Aetna page.

Thoughts??

@bbildman Don't know, I think it would be more of the page blocking the access.

@leocg Leo, if I change the User Agent to Chrome, it loads perfectly. So, who knows.

I Do know that even Way before Opera developers told us that Opera would not be updated past O95, I had this issue with other web pages.

@bbildman Then the site is blocking Opera.

@leocg Obviously then, it is blocking Edge also. But the latest version of Chrome I can use with my Win 7 is the 109 Version, same as Opera.

And I DID get a reply from Aetna that informed my to get in touch with their E-Tech team...that's a start.

In the meantime, I will see about an extension that will change my user agent, I did it within Opera, using developer tools, but after I opened the tools menu on the right half of the screen and changed the agent, I can't figure out how to make it permanent after closing the developer tool menu, maybe you can help me with that??

O well.

Leo, if you can do me a favor::

Please try to access this page (using Opera and Windows 10 or above - you MAY need to validate "I am not a robot" but it will then take you to this::

https://member.aetna.com/appConfig/login/login.fcc?TYPE=33554433&REALMOID=06-36d8cb4d-4ac1-44c7-b12d-a80fba4b718e&GUID=&SMAUTHREASON=0&METHOD=GET&SMAGENTNAME=-SM-xU5km2Pz5%2F9A%2F2FCwUlXE48HlDkyH9ruz3da8Iqw6pwcy09mgHFN5RmlkMNqguY5&TARGET=-SM-HTTPS%3A%2F%2Fmember.aetna.com%2FMbrLanding%2FRoutingServlet%3FcreateSession%3Dtrue&WT.svl=Login_nav

Normally you should get this (I am using Opera 95 with Chrome User Agent String and Windows 7)::

I get this though (using Opera 95 and Windows 7)::

I'm trying to ascertain if this is an Opera 95 problem USING Windows 7 - or if the issue disappears using Windows 10 and above USING Opera.

@leocg Ok, thanks, looks like it's an issue with Opera 95 and Windows 7
