Websites won't load after Sequoia 15 update

I cannot get the website DAR.fm to load on my Mac after updating to Sequoia 15.0. The website works with other computers that have not been updated. Security settings appear to be the same on other computers.

This problem exists no matter what browser I try (Chrome, Safari, DuckDuck, etc)

There have been several changes to macOS Sequoia's network stack. VPN might need to be turned off and back on if you have a VPN configuration profile. Or you might need to upgrade your VPN 3rd party software.


Limit IP Tracking needs to be turned on for WiFi if you are using Private Relay in iCloud. Try disabling Private Relay to see if things are working. I found that I had to turn on Limit IP Tracking after the upgrade because it was turned off. See if there are any indicators for iCloud Private Relay when going to your iCloud screen in Settings. In my case, it was telling me to enable Limit IP Tracking for things to work.


Or you can try turning off Limit IP Tracking as well as Private Relay and see if you can reach that website.


Check your DNS settings under WiFi Details -> DNS and try adding a couple entries for Google's public DNS servers.


Primary 8.8.8.8

Thanks, this indirectly ended up being a big help. As I was trying the things you suggested, I realized that I also recently connected the computer in question via an ethernet cable. I inactivated the ethernet network and activated the wifi network turned Limit IP tracking off and on and everything worked great with the website again.


Strangely, using just the ethernet network it did not work after switching that Limit IP tracking on and off.
