[SOLVED] Huge Connection Issues on Macbook

For the past 2 years, I have been having consistent problems connecting to things on my MacBook Pro. I've listed a few things that refuse to load.

  • Although Steam will open and load, games won't update
    Games like Minecraft will refuse to log in saying it can't reach authentification servers
    Websites like apple.com do not load
    Applications like discord will infinitely not be able to connect to servers and open
    Actual games on steam (like CS:GO) will open and load, and I can even play online games
    Adobe Creative Cloud states "Unable to connect to Adobe servers" rendering using my laptop almost entirely useless when trying to work in school.
    App Store will open but not load anything
I have tried a variety of things from restarting, to new DNS servers, to flushing cache through Terminal, yet none of these seem to help. If someone could provide some insight or some help. I have attached some related screenshots of applications refusing to connect. Also, if it helps at all, this is a computer specific issue, all other computers at home work without fault.
