Safari Can't Open Page (Youtube, but Only at School)

[pholcidae]

Hello. Whenever I try to open Youtube while connected to any of my school's internet (guest wifi, student, etc). I am almost certain it is not blocked by the school, because A. other people can open it just fine, and B. it doesn't say that the website is blocked. It seems to just refuse to load.

Youtube attachments in Discord or Reddit also do not load. I use a MacBook Air 11" from 2014, and am on macOS Mojave (10.14.2). Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: I should add that this happened before I got an Adblocker, and don't think that it is related to the issue.

Hello and welcome.

A few troubleshooting questions:
-Is this a school provided Mac? If so, did they lock the Network preference pane?
-Can teachers access YouTube, but not students?
-Have you tried another browser like Google Chrome?
-Have you tried to Clear History in Safari?
-You could try updating to macOS Mojave 10.14.4

Thanks for the reply.
This is my personal computer, and have had it for a while now. (I have been able to use YouTube up until about halfway through this year)
All the teachers and most of the other students can access it just fine. A friend with a razer has told me that they can’t get on YT either, but I haven’t had time to see if it was a similar issue.
I have tried Firefox, but not chrome.
I will try clearing my history tomorrow, and if that doesn’t work I will update the computer and go from there. Thanks for the suggestions.

No problem.

Also, if your school account is a Google account, try using Chrome and signing into Chrome with your school account - that logs you into YouTube as well.

Let us know how it goes,

I cleared my history and tried it, nothing changed. I will update the os overnight and try tomorrow.

Alright, wasn't able to Friday but I updated it today and nothing has changed.

OK, maybe something here will work for Safari: If Safari doesn't load a page or webpage items are missing

Also, are you connecting to your school's Wi-Fi with your student account? Have you checked your network settings in System Preferences?

Thanks, I will try that list tomorrow (or Wednesday, I have an AP test in the morning and might leave after).
I usually use [school]_HELP because very few people know the password and it is generally faster, but this issue happens on [school]_STUDENT and [school]_GUEST as well. What network settings would I check?

I also tried the fixes on that list, nothing there worked either.
