Hi fellas
I don't know what's wrong with my steam client, it just brings up library and playing games works fine, but when I want to browse its store or market or even see my profile it says something that I've no internet connection, this message:

Error Code: -7

Unable to connect to server. Server may be offline or you may not be connected to the internet.

may you help me out please ?
-----------------------------------------------
searched alot on internet about the problem but even on the Steam Troubleshooting wiki page the problem was not exist.

Note sure if it would work with steam what about strace?  What network calls are made just before the message "Error Code: -7"?

You didn't happen by any chance to start Steam in Offline mode?

You ran steam through strace and it showed no network calls before the message "Error Code: -7"?
What strace options were you using?

I don't know if you're interested in this proposal: install Steam from flatpak, it works perfectly.

Are you sure you didn't block some related IP ?, you did have a thread where you've done something similar.

is it an official repository ?
it seems like a legit one, but I don't know is it official or not.
I don't think so the package provided from flatpak has more reliability than official repository.

Yes, I'm sure.
no I didn't change anything after a fresh install, and also didn't install that firewalls again because I don't play LoL anymore.
