Feedland.com on Haiku browsers from my home setup

I’ve got a puzzling situation.

I am trying out the beta of Dave Winer’s web app feedland.com to aggregate multiple rss feeds into one feed river.

This works fine on FerenOS (an Ubuntu derived linux distribution), connecting from my home LAN, on Firefox, Floorp, and Vivaldi.

But when I try to connect to feedland.com from my Haiku (hrev57937+129), on my home LAN, I am not able to connect regardless of whether I am using WebPositive, Ice Weasle, Floorp, Otter, Web, Falkon, or Ladybird.

All the browsers on Haiku seem to get stuck while trying to establish a good connection with the feedland.com site. Web Positive, Web, and Falkon seem to display just the HTML part of the site, and while Ladybird does not display anything, “inspect source” window shows that the bare bones HTML of the site seems to have been received by the browser.
Incidentally, although I can only view this feedland.com site from my Linux browsers, from my home LAN, I am able to view the site from my Haiku browsers when I am connecting to the internet via a public wifi access point, such as at the public library.
I wonder whether anyone here on the board can give me advice on how I might be able to get this site to work on my Haiku browsers. I am guessing that perhaps the way I have my pfSense+ router set up at home is making it difficult for Haiku to access certain sites on the internet, but am not sure why the same browsers in Linux are able to get through. Any suggestions, hints, advice would be much appreciated!

Well, here’s how it looks when I try connecting to feedland.com from haiku, when connected via my mobile wifi modem.

I can connect to the site on WebPositive, Iceweasel, Floorp, and Web. On Otter, Falkon, and Ladybird, I get stuck at the Wordpress sign in page (I sign in to feedland.com via Wordpress).

It’s interesting to see how some of the Haiku browsers can connect when connected from a mobile wifi modem, whereas none of the browsers could do so when connected via my home LAN.

I also tried logging in to my Wordpress.com account from the various haiku browsers (via my mobile wifi modem). It turns out that while WebPositive, Iceweasle and Floorp can log in to wordpress.com, Otter and Falkon cannot (the log in page comes up, but it is not possible to enter any characters into the web form for Email address or username. Also, whereas Web was able to display Feedland.com it appears it is unable to display the Wordpress.com page (actually, it appears so have recognised the Wordpress login cookie from having displayed the feedland.com page recently, and logged in automatically. Unfortunately, the logged in Wordpress.com administration page displays only for a second, and then disappears, leaving just a blank page.

IIRC, Falkon & Otter have built-in Adblock features that could be interfering.
