Since yesterday I can't access
https://bayarearidersforum.com/forums/
I can get it on my phone using data, but not on my home wifi network. Can't access it on any of my computers on my home sonic wifi. The site loads fine on other networks.
Hoping I can get this one working.

Unfortunately I am not able to connect here in San Francisco at my house using chrome or firefox.

No issues here. Sonic-provided router?

I'm not on Sonic's network, but I tried from Sonic VPN and I was able to connect.
You don't indicate what error you're getting (e.g., "Site not found," "Connection refused," etc.), so it's difficult to diagnose and offer advice. Not providing any clues is like telling the mechanic "my car doesn't start" and expecting him to know whether it's a dead battery or the gas tank is empty.
Since connections via Sonic VPN work, you might try turning that on and see if you can connect from your computer. That'd provide a workaround.

My parents are in SF and also have Sonic. I can access the site using their connection, too.

Changed my DNS to the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 and restarted my router (again) and my computer, and everything is good.

Probably your router. My parents use Sonic's DNS along with their 5268AC residential gateway.
