Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AnanthVivekanand/spotify-adblock/issues/40

When I open a songlink in a browser the "site can't be reached. -> refused to connect"

And for example when I send the songlink to a friend on discord where It should generate an "embed" it is just blank. (probably according to the same issue as above (in the browser))

This proxy really isn't meant to be used system-wide, especially if you're using the MITM proxy. The MITM proxy will generate a new certificate for each domain, and any good browser would reject the MITM certs.

This proxy is meant to be used with Spotify's proxy setting. If you want adblocking on open.spotify.com, look into UBlock Origin.

@AnanthVivekanand and so how can I prevent it from blocking system-wide?

Set the proxy only in Spotify. You can do this in the Spotify settings. Do not set it system wide.

If you mean setting it in Windows in proxy settings, I didn't set anything. "Automatic is disabled and use proxy too"

When you visit open.spotify.com in your browser, do you see anything logged in the terminal? Does open.spotify.com work if you turn the proxy off?
