      On the top right, next to the search icon. I have this all the time (now blocked/hidden).

            Ah, ok found it.

            8bffb22e-ed93-4a61-954f-b7319b7ac7ed-image.png

            Normally, it's hidden if no message is to be shown. It's the place where the popup text resides (it will get shown in the right bottom corner) that states that "The connection to the forum is lost". There was a time it showed up randomly several times per hours for many, you can find people talking bout it here in the forum.
            But that forum issue (?) is gone now afaik.

            Something or someone is resetting your TCP states - something upstream ?!

            Not a web programmer myself, but this forum does the same thing as what the pfSense dashboard does : it comes with many java scripts that call back to the server(pfSense GUI) to interactively update the dashboard page.

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

              I have no clue. All I can say, it is only with this forum.

                Hmm, I run firefox with no-script here and only allow scripts from netgate.com and it works fine. I also have dual WANs and that doesn't seem to trouble it either. 😕

                There have been times when I was seeing the loading circle and connection lost messages frequently but not any time recently.

                  Maybe because you are a admin? But then, Gertjan isn't seeing it either. If I block 3rd party google, I get the blacklisted IP warning every second time... Something special must be going on, that is why I am asking for whitelisting. 😀

                    Yeah. Unfortunately there is no way to whitelist IPs in nodebb. There is only the blacklist. 😞

                          @stephenw10 Maybe I am on some blacklist? Looks like only I am affected.

                            When asking my browser what it does, I do see this :

                            df5dd099-83be-4379-ab76-b4b180681095-image.png

                            wss;//forum.netgate.com/socket.io/?........ errored out out, as the server ( ! ) said : connection refused.
                            ( then why the forum sends a script with this URL and then it is refusing the 'call back' ? )

                            It isn't really an issue, as I have no notification what so ever on the screen.

                            wss:// ?

                            @Bob-Dig : your turn : what request quest refused / times out ? ( Open web browser dev tools or whatever it is called )

                                  Ah ....

                                  This one :
                                  3ae4146f-11fb-4a8f-b28e-b5324387daaf-image.png
                                  doesn't make any issues. As I've the same, and all is well.
                                  Everybody will se thes same lines I guess.

                                  But this :

                                  9021df09-2506-4ea8-b819-f550bae38a55-image.png

                                  NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE
                                  

                                  and I have this strong suspicion that "NS" stands for Name Server. So no DNS (anymore) .... ?

                                  and who is sponsorBlocker ?

                                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                  Edit : and where are the logs ??

                                      Any non-default/custom uBO filters/lists that could cause it...?
                                      I'm using Opera with uBO, never seen that "loading ring" on this forum.

                                        @stephenw10 It is unrelated, disabled it, problem comes back.

                                          You are using a local proxy for all traffic. Maybe it doesn't support websocket secure (wss)?

                                            Even disabling uBO is not fixing it for me.
