        @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 :

          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 )

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

                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.

                  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.

                      @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.

                            How to test?

                              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 !! 🤝

                                          Didn't even know what wss:// is/was.Still note sure why it is banning on forum.netgate.com/socket.io/... [ and who told ths wass to do this as this banning is probably done by every forum visitor's browser .... ]

                                          And what is a "Dante socks proxy" ?
