When I search for "502 Proxy Error", all the results point to a web server situation, not to the local network.

Does this happen with every use of Safari to visit a web site?

    I have faced this issue before when I tried to login to PayPal using Safari but when I switch to Firefox, it works fine.

    This time the issue is with Safari and Firefox. I have contacted some friends and they do not have any problem with the website at all.

    I'm really an expert but I have seen issue with my orbi devise like not allowing me to access some websites. Also I have seen people complaining about firewalls issue with orbi. So I really do not know exactly what's going on.

      I occasionally use PayPal and have never seen this error.  I suspect the solution will be found by investigating PayPal, rather than Orbi.

      Would be really useful to reproduce the error when not connected to the Orbi network and capture whatever details are included in the error message.
