Fresh Browser install fails to connect to any web sites

I just download the browesr and did an install.

I did NOT install the VPN.

When I try to access ANY web sites it fails with the following

==========================================

Unable to connect

The connection was refused when attempting to contact fred.com.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.

If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Mullvad Browser is permitted to access the web.

=========================================

When you check the Network via Web Developer Tools, the result always shows

NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Every web site via Mullvad returns the same result.

My DNS logs (Technitum and NextDNS) all show that a DNS request was made without any error.

Firefox and Brave ALL WORK.

System. Windows 11

DNS - Technitium on a seperate stand a lone server.

Forwarding Resolver - NextDNS.

Settings - I have tried all of the DNS settings and do not use a proxy.

I suggest contacting [email protected].

Already done and now working.
Was a simple fix not related to Mullvad.

can you explain what was the solution?

It was blocked by Glasswire.
Once Glasswire was set to allow it to access the internet, it then worked.
