Try again. And then, after 20 seconds, try again.

It still returns This site can’t be reached.

In the Brave Browser Global Shields settings, DISABLE the switch that would block cookies.

Use a Terminal.app window and enter the following command:

/Applications/Brave\ Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave\ Browser -n -args --incognito --crash-on-failure --disable-extensions --disable-gpu --enable-leak-detection 2>~/Desktop/brave.console.out.txt

Try to reach the website. If no go . . . then:

In a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

brave://settings/content/javascript

Scroll down that javascript settings page to Allowed to use javascript

Click the Add button

Enter [*.]website_of_interest.com as the site . . . but do not Enable the following:

  • Current Private session only

Click the Add button

(You would replace the character string, “website_of_interest.com” with your domain of interest.)

I followed all the instructions but it still returns the same response. My JavaScript defaults to allow too.

I just PING’d the domain:

$ ping -c 3 lobste.rs

PING lobste.rs (67.205.189.7): 56 data bytes
