Thanks for the report! It seems like something has regressed with error pages. These pages your visiting most likely have self-signed SSL certificates and usually would show a "Your connection isn't private" page that would allow you to proceed anyways. We're investigating and hope to have a solution asap!

Uhh, this is correct, I also have a checkmk website listening on a non standard port, but this site has got a letsencrypt-cert. brave ios is loading this site without any problems ...

Marking as QA/No as it will be tested in brave-ios 1.62.2 hotfix

1.16.2 works as expected
