Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Unknown

What subscription do you have?

ChatGPT Plus

What platform is your computer?

Windows

What issue are you seeing?

The assistant's connected browser repeatedly returns:

502 Bad Gateway
[Errno 111] Connection refused

This happens when accessing:
https://stefanyrodrigues.adv.br/
https://stefanyrodrigues.adv.br/wp-admin/

The website and WordPress dashboard open normally in my own browser.

The assistant retried several times, closed all browser tabs, and opened a new tab. The error persisted.

The assistant also reported a different list of browser tabs from the tabs visible to me. I do not know whether this is related.

Expected behavior:
The assistant should be able to access the website and continue the authorized WordPress editing work.

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the connected-browser request against the two listed URLs on Windows and inspect the 502 connection-refused result and tab-state discrepancy. Done means the authorized WordPress pages are reachable through the connected browser and the reported tabs match the user's view.
