Only some websites load since I installed new version of Local

The strangest thing happened since creating a new website on the latest version of Local. Only some websites will load in my Chrome browser. The local site I’m building is fine but online websites will not load for some reason.

Google is fine but the majority of other sites I try and go to will not load. I researched this and found it to be a DNS problem but the solutions offered did not resolve the issue.

Wondering if anybody has this problem and if so what the fix is.

I’m running Windows 10 64 bit and using the latest Flywheel verion 6.1.1.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

hey @cape3015 – Welcome to the Local Community Forums!

Being a DNS problem sounds possible – can you describe in a little more detail what led you to think that this was this issue?

Can you also describe the things you’ve tried already?

I almost wonder if somehow the computer’s Hosts file was corrupted. Have you taken a look at that file? Does it seem normal, or maybe overly large?

Magically, the problem went away when I turned on my PC last night.

I did take a look at the Hosts file prior and the only thing out of the ordinary was the Local website stuff at the bottom of the file. There was no way to clear this from the file though so I left it be.

Hopefully, this was just a one time hiccup and it won’t return.

Thanks for the reply.
