I tested adding this domain manually and was able to get the application to launch.

Did some digging to figure out where this was being blocked and it's this list:

https://github.com/EnergizedProtection/block

Which in turn is getting it from here: https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts/blob/master/Pro/hosts.txt

I'm opening issues on both of those repositories to see if I can get the domain removed there.

Addressed in the actual list.
