Not reproducible on my iPhone / iOS 18 for me on Nightly / Release builds
Reproducible on iPadOS 17.7 on Nightly, seems to be working on Release channel though.

@hffvld @Uni-verse, I investigated the problem. Seems it happens because of local proxy. There is settings for that you should enable for ex.: Privacy & Security -> Local Network -> BraveBeta
Could you retest with that setting enable please?
Thanks
