Safari can’t connect to the server

I have not been able to sign in to Safari for the past three days. I’m living in Ecuador and don’t know how to fix this issue.

iPhone 5s, iOS 10

On a Mac???


Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...


System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.


System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.


The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.


Sys Prefs>Network>highlight the Interface you're using>Advanced>TCP/IP>Configure IPv4: Using DHCP.


If using Wifi, instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.


System Preferences>Network>choose interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.


System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

I followed the instructions to the letter. My computer is now able to log in to the server and get my Mac back on Safari. The key to a successful repair was the Proxies Tab, and to make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HPPTS. My computer was set on the HTTP, so when I unchecked this and restarted my computer, it was back to Safari being able to find the server. Thank you so very much for this help. Once again, I'm happy to be an Apple user because of the help from tech support and from the community of other users.
