I am experiencing a persistent issue where I am completely blocked from logging into my Navigraph account, Navigraph Hub, and SimBrief.
When I try to access the login page or services on my normal home network I have a site can’t be reached, identity.api.navigate.com refused to connect, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
This error may have been after a windows update but cannot confirm. Regardless it started on 9/29/2026.
I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:
Rebooted router and WIFI
Rebooted computer
Synchronized my Windows system time and date.
Flushed my DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns)
Tried multiple browsers
Checked my Windows Defender Firewall settings
Added chrome as a program allowed to access the network.
I have no problems with access on my mobile device.
have spent most of the day troubleshooting the chrome web browser login error when trying to login to either SimBrief or Navigraph account using numerous recommended fixes from web searches with no luck
I also disconnected from my home network and connected to my mobile phone hotspot and still received the same errors.
Thank you for being patient and working this issue with me. I am happy to report that the problem has been resolved and I have successfully logged onto all navigraph applications from my PC.
I followed your terminal command instructions which identified lines in the host file from a recent community mod that I downloaded from Flightsim.To I deleted that mod and removed the lines from the host file that contained navigraph
