We are actively working in this issue , and we figured out the mostly affected customer are using optimum isp.
If you are experiencing the same issue, please raise a support ticket with your ISP, Optimum, and report the DNS/connectivity issue. Request a permanent resolution from the ISP, as this appears to be related to their DNS resolution.
For support ticket reference mention this :- TL;DR: Customer’s ISP DNS returned a wrong IP for our API hostnames, so browsers couldn’t reach our APIs.
Impact: All data-loading features failed, while the frontend still loaded. This affected every page and reproduced across browsers because DNS is resolved at the OS level.
Root cause: The ISP resolver returned an incorrect IP instead of the correct Cloudflare records, causing ERRCONNECTIONREFUSED
Workaround steps to resolve the issue-:
Steps to resolve — customers seeing pages not loading / connection errors
- Confirm it's this issue Have the customer run nslookup services.leadconnectorhq.com
- Windows: Command Prompt
- Mac: Terminal
If the address returned is anything other than Cloudflare space (104.18.x or 172.64.x) — e.g. a single 167.206.x address — it's this issue. Apply the fix below.
Option A — Chrome only (fastest, no admin rights)*
Chrome → Settings → Privacy and security → Security → Use secure DNS → select "With: Cloudflare (1.1.1.1)"
Quit Chrome completely and reopen. Best option on a screenshare — no terminal, no admin password.
Option B — System-wide (recommended, fixes all browsers)*
Set DNS servers to:
1.1.1.1
8.8.8.8
2606:4700:4700::1111 (IPv6 — don't skip this)
The IPv6 entry matters: the bad resolver was reached over IPv6, so if only IPv4 is changed the OS may keep using it.
Windows: Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi (or Ethernet) → Hardware properties → DNS server assignment → Edit → Manual → turn on IPv4 and IPv6, enter the above → Save
Then in Command Prompt:
ipconfig /flushdns
macOS: System Settings → Network → Wi-Fi → Details → DNS → "+" → add each entry → OK
Then in Terminal:
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Verify
Re-run nslookup services.leadconnectorhq.com — should now return the Cloudflare addresses. Restart the browser and reload HighLevel.
If it still fails, clear Chrome's internal cache: go to chrome://net-internals/#dns → Clear host cache.
