Can't connect to Adobe servers [Branched from unrelated topic]

I haven't been able to access my CC Desktop app for over a week. I haven't been able to use Illustrator. All I keep getting is error messages telling me that I can't reach Adobe servers. Was on with chat support for alomost 2 hours with 4 different agents and nobody can tell me why. None of the so-called "fixes" worked. Funny that I can access Adobe and my account online until the cows come home and Adobe doesn't miss a beat taking my subscription from me every month. Also, I can not uninstall any of my Adobe programs either. Adobe is about as dirty and sinister as it gets.
