I suddenly can’t connect to the steam servers, i can’t view my profile, go to the community hub, discussions and the workshop, but i can play the steam games. Also, i can’t connect to any steam websites like steam community.com in google, i’m using my phone right now to post this, is there any way to fix this problem? i’ve tried uninstalling the vpn and it’s drivers, reinstalling steam, but none of them worked

Change your DNS settings to GoogleDNS and see if there's a difference.

it doesn’t make a difference, i still can’t connect to steamcommunity.com and steam servers in the steam app

Things you can give a try.
- If using 3rd party software that manage incoming, and out going data, or manage filez and app permissions, ensure its not blocking things.

- Modem / Router need a reboot.

- If you did anything in the Modem / Router settings, check your work to ensure it wasn't causing problems.

- If connecting to private VPN / DNS networks, they may be blocking somethings. Either set back to default, or use open DNS network like google, or cloud flare.

- Can try flushing your network, open command promt as admin, and give this a try.
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset

If not working still try these in order, then restart, and test.
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

- Ensure your ISP isn't blocking Steam for certain connection.

i think it’s because of a third party app, i’ve uninstall the app already but it still blocks me from steam websites and servers

If anyone else has this problem it could be an issue with steam's cache system. Go to your inventory and click on a game you own, Click the Store Page link under green play button, If that page loads click Your Store at the top of the page, and click Home in the pull down menu. This will force it to load into the store for me every time this happens.
