Tab error without URL

Whenever I open a new tab and input a regular sentence, it takes me to a page that says “Your request has been refused by the server. If you are accessing this page from Tor, try changing the exit node. If you are accessing this page from a popular VPN service, try to switch to a different server or region.“ it only does this for regular sentences but it will work if I input a complete website URL


Description of the issue: error with search’s without proper URL

How can this issue be reproduced?

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Mobile Device details: T-Mobile IPhone 15 Promax

Additional Information:

Can you please share a screenshot of the exact error message you’re seeing on your end? Additionally, to confirm, you could reproduce by launching Brave, opening a new tab and then typing in something like What is the weather today? in the address bar?

This is what I get when I ask “what time is it in the Midwest”

Thank you for taking interest! I figured out the problem. My WiFi was the cause
