Hello, @leadfoot.
My apologies for the lack of response here, but I was investigating this issue today and I think there may be a large ISP/Nation level block on brave.com for users in Pakistan. I recently saw users on Twitter mentioning similar issues when trying to access our domain(s). You could try a Private Window with Tor to confirm (Alt+Shift+N in Brave on Windows). From what I hear, that should work.
Unfortunately this means you may need to use a VPN to access necessary brave endpoints. Many of our sub-resources, for browser operations, are served from *.brave.com properties. This could mean that, although you’re able to use Brave, many of the internal components are prevented from working as designed. A VPN should resolve this, by patching your requests through another country/region.
I hope this helps,
Sampson
