I tried searching for a solution but didn’t find anything. Using version 111.0-3, I try to connect to google sites (docs, search, drive) and LW says that the site isn’t secure. I tried diabling HTTPS-only temporarily, and it still didn’t work.

It seems like if I turn on ExpressVPN, I can’t connect. If I disconnect ExpressVPN, the connection goes through. I tried the filter in ExpressVPN to let connections through when LibreWolf tries, but that doesn’t seem to work either.
