What does this warning mean when adding an indexer in prowlarr - "Unable to connect to indexer, please check your DNS settings and ensure IPv6 is working or disabled. The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception" ?

Re: IP6 / DNS issue
Hey @Faisbook!
The error is pretty self explanatory: You have DNS issues.
This might be for a multitude of reasons, but the most common is that your ISP is blocking access to that indexer. You can try another indexer, or maybe run Prowlarr on the VPN network, but that's a lot more complicated.
Cheers!
Roger.

Re: [Solved] IP6 / DNS issue
I can only find one indexer to work as my ISP is known for being strict! I need to go the vpn / proxy route. Can you recommend any guides? I looked at the trash guide but I'm not quite sure I follow what they mean. I have PIA as a vpn and they offer SOCK5 credentials if required for a proxy?
