No problem here. I'm using port 563 (SSL) for my Usenet clients.

Have you tried a different client? I stopped using Hogwasher some time
ago but I've still got a license so I'll downloaded and see if I get
the problem. I use the PIA VPN app btw.

OK following up using Hogwasher 5.24 on my M1 machine running the latest Tahoe version
using SSL connection Port 563. VPN is NOT active.

Exactly the same set-up on my M1 Max machine. Same Tahoe, same SSL config, same Hogwasher version, and I can only access UseNet via a VPN.
ItrCOs no big deal now I have a workaround, but it was a bit of a pain until I did. And IrCOd still like to know the cause.

Have you tried a different client? Your ISP might be blocking it. A
different client would show whether or not the issue exists elsewhere.

Yes, here in the UK. ISP is Community Fibre.

It is a quote frm "The Byte of the Serpent" which as been around since the 1970s. You may hve come across it in the distant past.
It has many variants.

Perhaps your memory is failing, John - - but I sincerely thank you for
your response.
My subsequent research leads me to believe that your quote is from THIS book:-
