Hi Nick,

I’ve found a workaround to the problem. I use 5G home broadband, as opposed to fixed line. Previously, this has worked absolutely fine with LocalWP, and everything else. It seems that recently LocalWP no longer works with this, likely what’s resulting in the “connecting” error when downloading resources, as per the previous logs provided, despite the resources being downloadable if I access them directly. Possibly a bug with LocalWP here?

As a workaround, I’ve been able to setup an L2TP VPN with a fixed IP, and LocalWP now works as expected.
