How to resolve "Syncthing seems to be experiencing a problem processing your request"?
Why can I not open two Syncthing sessions in the same browser?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Syncthing GUI uses cookies to maintain a session. You can't have more than one session open against the same website in the same browser, much like you can't log in as two different users on this forum at the same time from the same browser, so that may cause this error message.

one session open against the same website in the same browser, much like you
can't log in as two different users on this forum at the same time from the
same browser, so that may cause this error message. This means you should not
browse a local Syncthing instance (typically localhost:8384) and a remote
Syncthing instance (e.g. localhost:9090 as suggested previously) at the same
time. Often, this results in partial functionality (e.g. ignore patterns cannot
be editted) or in an error message such as ``Syncthing seems to be experiencing
a problem processing your request`` when updating a particular setting.
In 99% of the cases of this issue are:
1. Using some sort of proxy/SSH tunneling which causes the cookies to be issued under an incorrect domain causing the browser to refuse them. Close your browser and only keep a single Syncthing Web GUI open at each time.
2. Having some privacy add-on enabled in the browser causing cookies to be refused.
3. Browser failing to provide the initially provided Basic Auth header to re-authenticate given syncthing was restarted and the session cookie is no longer valid. Refreshing the page usually fixes this.

4. Having multiple sessions for the same site.
To resolve this, please use a seperate browser. For example use Firefox for one
session and Konqueror/Chromium/.. for another.
Why do I see Syncthing twice in task manager?
