Network Connection Failed Repeatedly – No Response in Diagnostics

Hey, thanks for the report.

The fact that even older versions don’t work suggests something external is blocking Cursor’s connections, like an antivirus, firewall, or other security software.

A couple things to try:

  1. Check the macOS firewall: System Settings > Network > Firewall. Make sure Cursor is allowed, or temporarily turn it off to test.

  2. Security software: Do you have Little Snitch, CleanMyMac, corporate monitoring software, or any MDM profiles installed? We’ve seen a similar case caused by a conflict between corporate monitoring software and Cursor: Cursor Connection Failing Only on My MacBook Pro - Machine Specific Issue

  3. Disable HTTP/2: App settings Cmd + , > search for “HTTP/2” > enable “Disable HTTP/2”

Can you share what security software or firewall you have running? That’ll help narrow it down.
