FSrealWX lite has been failing to connect to the weather server - or any server for that matter - for about a week now. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know how to fix it?

It's been connecting for me. Used it earlier this afternoon.

a) Are you on the latest update? I just updated to v1.06.1469 - bottom right of the program box. Mine is working btw. I use Opus now instead which is great.
b) Otherwise I would uninstall reboot reinstall and try again

Just got done with a 3 hr. + flight from KVNY to KAPA with no problems at all. I also have the latest version.
:salute:

On a hunch, I uninstalled my web filter - Blue Coat K9. It's been great - effective and remarkably low on processor requirements - but for some reason the latest update started messing with things, it seems.
With Blue Coat K9 removed, all seems to be fixed.
EDIT: Did some more testing. It is in fact Blue Coat K9... even with all of the filtering options turned all the way off, the latest version blocks FSrealWX. I wonder what it thinks it is blocking?
Does anyone know of another good, lightweight, free web filter to use? It's for my only computer - FS, work, school, etc., it's all on the same machine, so it has got to be easy on the processor and on the memory. No stinking way I'm using bloated crapware like McAfee or Symantec!
