Browsers can't connect to weather report (Solved)
Browsers can't connect to weather report (Solved)
This one puzzles me. For years I have been checking my local weather by going to the Government of Canada Ministry of Environment https://weather.gc.ca/ . For the last few weeks that site is blocked and the browser says, "We can’t connect to the server at weather.gc.ca." This happens with Firefox-esr, Slimjet and Pale Moon. I have even renamed ~/.mozilla and booted Firefox-esr with a fresh one with no extensions and still had the problem. The same happens with Palemoon. Now here's the kicker: Tor browser can read the site. I even upgraded Tor to its most recent and it can still read that site. So what's the difference? Why can Tor read https://weather.gc.ca/ but the other browsers cannot?

Re: Browsers can't connect to weather report
Got it. I use a VPN and apparently the server I was using has a problem at that site. It's curious that there was no message about VPN use.
I changed server and all is well, I think.
