This is probably fixed by https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/11206, which just got merged. Could you upgrade canary and try again?

[birkskyum]

Same with 1.1.9-canary.1+396dc7852

Update: still on 1.1.17+bb66bba1b

@birkskyum can you try in #11235

bunx bun-pr jarred/web-scale

Then

bun-11235 <script

[birkskyum]

It didn't do the trick unfortunately

[birkskyum]

This is still an issue in 1.1.23 - noticed some tls fixes, but they didn't do the trick.

[Jarred-Sumner]

sad

Maybe internally it's uses duplex upgrade to TLS

@birkskyum Proton VPN blocks 27017 port thats why you aren't able to connect. I think there is a option to bypass VPN for certain url / hostnames (in paid version) that can help otherwise try w/o using VPN or some other VPN.

[birkskyum]

Thanks for looking into this @faisalferoz ! It is the paid version. As shown here, there doesn't appear to be anywhere to whitelist specific urls/hostnames, but it's great to know it's the 27017 port block that cause this, and that it's potentially Proton VPN specific.

(I've tried the "Don't block" here too, and it doesn't help)

[birkskyum]

Closing - since it's not specific to bun

@birkskyum Its called Split Tunneling in Proton VPN - heres a link for details https://protonvpn.com/support/protonvpn-split-tunneling/

@faisalferoz - reason I couldn't find it is that it's a Windows/Android only feature for now, but hopefully will come to macos eventually, so I'll use another solution until then. Thanks!
