None of my GitHub Pages are deploying

Hey gang, first time posting on here, need some guidance.

As of about two days ago, none of my GitHub pages websites are loading anymore. Prior to this, everything was loading fine, whether these were React apps or simple HTML/CSS/JS projects.

For example, my portfolio: https://lucashawthorne.github.io/Eportfolio/

Leads only to an error that says:

"This site can’t be reached
lucashawthorne.github.io refused to connect.
Try:

Checking the connection
[Checking the proxy and the firewall]
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"

The same error appears for every single one of my GitHub websites across multiple browsers and devices.

Yesterday, Google flagged my websites as Dangerous and I managed to prove ownership of all of my websites and prove that they were not dangerous, and they unflagged them this morning, but my websites are still not loading.

Any ideas as to what caused this, and more importantly, how to get my websites working again? Nothing seems to be wrong in either my master or gh-pages branches and other people have also confirmed this.

You can see all of my repos' code for yourself here: https://github.com/lucashawthorne/. There shouldn't be anything wrong and I'm led to believe this is a GitHub-side issue.

Solution has been found. Rather than delete this post, I figured I'd reply here to share my solution with anyone else who comes across this issue.

It was a pretty simple fix in the end. I had someone else check out my links and they looked fine on their end, which confirmed this was no longer a GitHub or Google issue, but instead, something locally involving either my device or my connection.

The initial suggestions to try different browsers and devices didn't help, and then he suggested trying a different network. I used my phone's mobile data instead of my home Wi-Fi and was able to connect to my links. Turns out, my network provider was blocking access to my own sites from my Wi-Fi network. To circumvent this without needing to strictly use mobile data at home, I changed my DNS server, and now I can connect to my websites at home using the same Wi-Fi network.

Hope this helps anyone who also comes across this issue.
