Unable to access Spotify web site on MacOS

[Muzzah]

I am using macOS Big Sur 11.1 on a MacBook Pro

Premium user based in UK

Spotify app was not connecting to the internet despite there being a working internet connection

As per recommendation, I uninstalled the Spotify app and deleted the appropriate files

I am now unable to access the Spotify download page

www.spotify.com/download

Error message: 

This site can’t be reached

www.spotify.com took too long to respond.

Try: Checking the connection

Checking the proxy and the firewall

Site doesn't work on several browsers (Chrome, Opera, Safari)

Also:

I have no firewalls

On iPhone and iPad: app and website works, even on the same network

This is incredibly frustrating and any help gratefully received.

Spotify support - if you’re listening I am paying 15 quid a month so expect a better service to be honest. I may have to change provider.

As soon as I posted this topic I managed to locate the issue!

Check for any spurious DNS settings:

System Preferences->Network

Select your WiFi and then select Advanced...

Select the DNS tab and remove any manual settings.
