Epic Browser no longer connects while in Sandboxie

I have been running Sandboxie with Epic Browser. It's worked fine until today, when Epic would not connect to the internet. However Epic running outside of Sandboxie connects fine, and I'm able to run my default browser (Chrome) in Sandboxie without any problems.

So it appears to be an issue between Epic and Sandboxie--any ideas? Like I said, they worked great together until now. But Sandboxie just updated to the latest version, so I suspect that's the problem.
 
Was the Epic Browser updated? Maybe something changed that is currently incompatible with Sandboxie. I did not see a change log on the website.

Does the browser show anything if you try to connect to a website, or does it just stay blank?

You can try to start the Epic Browser in a new empty sandbox.

You can downgrade Sandboxie to a previous version, to check if a recent change in Sandboxie is causing this. You can find the releases on GitHub.

Yes it was Sandboxie--I downgraded to Sandboxie Plus 1.16.8 and now Epic Browser connects fine.

There's something in 1.16.9 that's causing the problem.

Thank you for testing.

What did the browser show, when it was not able to connect?

When it couldn't connect, the page remained completely blank and the tab kept spinning and spinning as it attempted to connect. No messages on the screen or status bar at all. No "Unable to connect" or "Gateway timeout" or anything like that.

I waited for maybe 30 seconds before giving up. It might have shown a message if I left it longer.
 
Thank you for the information. Maybe someone can look into it,

There was no change in how applications can connect to the network, so it must be a side effect of other changes.
