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" ?

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.
