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

with no-script

I am using uBO for that.

[stephenw10]

Mmm, I'm also running uBlock Origin.

[Bob.Dig]

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

Something special must be going on, that is why I am asking for whitelisting

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

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 :

doesn't make any issues. As I've the same, and all is well.
Everybody will se thes same lines I guess.

But this :

NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE

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

and who is sponsorBlocker ?

sponsorBlocker

Plugin for youtube user submissions. Probably unrelated.

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.

[Bob.Dig]

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

[stephenw10]

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.

How to test?

[stephenw10]

Stop using the proxy and see if it stops happening?

Fair. I have the feeling, testing this is not that easy, the problem is gone.
I am using Dante socks proxy. If anyone has a recommendation for an alternative socksv5 proxy, please let me know. I am not able to make an exception just for this forum from the proxy, how this is setup in Firefox.

Wrong. I can make one and will and this should fix it for me. Thanks @stephenw10 !!
