Earle suggested maybe we need some kind of “heartbeat” to keep the connection alive and avoid changing proxy settings. Like if it sent a character every 30 seconds it would avoid a connection timeout.

I saw this that seemed to be talking about that https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64303764/how-do-you-implement-heartbeat-like-functionality-using-reactors-flux don’t know if it’s the same thing.

I thought that browsers detected this and just opened a new connection, tbh. But I do recall Firefox behaving a little differently.

Thanks! Looks like there’s a known issue with Firefox where if there isn’t any data sent initially then it reports it as an “can’t establish a connection to the server” error

I saw this similar workaround here https://stackoverflow.com/a/33697115/3708872

Though sounds like even with a “fix” Firefox still shows an error navigating. This seems like it should be open as a new issue if it’s specific to Firefox though not sure how @Adrian Fish wants to handle it.

So far Edge seems to be fine, but am leaving the console open as I work through stuff to make sure it’s not going to pop up again in Edge. Will also open Chrome and check (even though it seems Chrome and Edge are the same).

Yeah, I’m seeing an error in Firefox too, but it seems to be working fine for me in Edge/Chrome/Brave. Are you having success in those browsers?
