Administrator Matt Posted November 13, 2025 Administrator Share Posted November 13, 2025 @jvidal I do not use it, but there's a new feature in this version "DNS over HTTPS" try to enable it or disable it if it's already enabled by default.

jvidal Posted November 14, 2025 Share Posted November 14, 2025 (edited) after a lot of tinkering and whatnot, I'm only having problems with hotmail, but not only in thunderbird. I can't even connnect uing the browser, I get "connection refused", no matter wht I use, be it firefox, opera, vivaldi, etc. anybody ese having trouble with hotmail/outlook.com/live.com?? I'm getting either "connection refused" or "insecure connection" and something about HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), so I can't connect because it requires a secure connection. anybody else seeing this? update: it seems to be a DNS issue. I changed my default DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (GOOGLE DNS SERVERS) and now i can connect...weird. update2: some strange DNS server crept its way into my router, i don't know how or why, but removing it solved the problem.
