How to fix
No healthy upstream error in browser, eBay, VMware
on Windows

Hi, I've been trying to bid on eBay auctions for a while with no issues. Suddenly, I can no longer do that because the page loads the "No healthy upstream" error every time I try. I am using Google Chrome - if that has any relevance at all.

No healthy upstream error usually occurs when users are trying to reach certain services, including Netflix or eBay, via their browsers. However, the problem is also prevalent when using standalone applications such as Spotify or management software such as VMware vCenter.

It is evident that the problem is rather broad and affects multiple applications. It prevents users from, let's say, bidding at the auctions on eBay, listening to music on Spotify, or employing functions of the management software, which can be a significant issue to many. Thus, the need to fix the No healthy upstream error is quite high.

The error may seem rather strange and unrelated, although, considering that it can occur on management software, it means that it is related to server issues. In reality, upstreaming is the process of sending patches or upgraded packages to software administrators so they can be added to the source code. An unhealthy upstream means that data isn't being sent for additions to the source. As a result, the application may malfunction when trying to be used.

In most cases, the No healthy upstream error occurs due to general bugs, although bugged[ref en-1] caches[ref en-2] on the browser are also very common causes of it. Below we will provide several solutions on how to fix the error under varying circumstances.

Alternatively, you could also attempt to utilize a different browser. For example, if you regularly use Google Chrome and it is coming up with this issue, you should switch to Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or another browser of your preference.

2. Clear browser caches

As mentioned, one of the main reasons for the No healthy upstream error on the browser is general bugs. To be more precise, cached data may cause issues, hence removing it could resolve the situation. To do this, proceed as follows:
