I'm having issues with Brave, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and a few other apps not working since upgrading to Sonoma. I get the error message saying make sure you're connected to the internet. Safari works fine but Brave browser doesn't, sometimes chrome doesn't. The only solution I've found it restarting my laptop. When I restart my laptop everything works fine. The moment I swap profile and log into a different user and come back they all stop working. Anyone else facing this issue? Any fixes? It's really frustrating. Please screenshot of WhatsApp and Brave browser not working while I'm typing this message!
Specs:

13inch MacBook Pro M1 (2020), 16GB Sonoma 14.1

there
have you tired contacting Brave, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and a few other apps FIRST?
they are the only ones who might help, unless someone here has some incite....

may not be the apps... check your internet connection, since that's the common denominator. perhaps it takes a minute to reconnect when you log back in to the first account (sounds like it).

you could try removing and re-adding your wifi setup....

Have you tried reinstalling them? I'm literally using all three of those apps and no issue. Brave is my default browser. Whatsapp is running on my 2nd desktop now. I don't usually use Teams but I'm able to launch it and run it. And I'm on Sonoma 14.1. Seems like a network problem as some have mentioned.

So it looks like the only time this happens is when I switch between user profiles. So when I restart my laptop, everything works fine. When I swap user profile from Profile A to Profile B and then back to Profile A all of these apps have this problem! Even apple can't figure out why it's happening! Any one has any ideas? Thanks
