Please update your Halos systems! It turns out, the multi-level mDNS (container app addresses such as signalk.halos.local) was a really bad idea. Some clients (Windows, in particular) simply don't support them, and even with supported devices, the implementation turned out to be fragile.

Halos is now back to more traditional approach of using separate TCP ports for different services. HTTPS and single sign-on is still supported, and the TCP ports are mapped at install-time from port 4430 onwards. Path-based URLs such as https://halos.local/signalk-server/ are provided for easier linking and shortcuts.

The change doesn't require any action from the user, but any shortcuts or saved links need to be refreshed, of course.
