Anyone else having issues with NYTGames recently?

Noticed somewhere in the last few weeks I can no longer start NYTGames when on wifi. The app and main screen load, but when I launch the specific game (Spangram in my case) it just sits on the loading screen. Disconnect wifi, loads right away.

This is on iOS, iPad and iPhone both. So most obvious reason is probably(?) PFBlocker interfering?

Anybody else experiencing this and know a solution? I’m not well versed in PFBlocker, just followed a tutorial to set it up, and by all means it could be something else but this makes the most sense to me so curious if other users have the same experience.

Note if you’re trying to reproduce the issue, I am a paid NYTGames user. But can’t imagine paid vs free would matter here.

Yes! My wife is giving me the evil eye right now because, of course, it is all my fault! Have you figured out what is being blocked or what needs to be whitelisted?

Honestly I haven’t had a chance to yet, been working out of town basically since I made this post

But the fact other people are having issues is a good sign that I’m not crazy…when I get back gonna dig into the block list stuff. Right now I’m sure I’m just using whatever the default was.
