Was Joplin prevented from accessing the Internet before? Spell checking requires network access to download dictionaries, at least when you enable it for the first time.

It was always able to access the internet, and I use Joplin's back-up sync server across a few devices, so I know it was accessing the internet just fine. I am really not sure what happened, i have used Joplin for a number of years, trouble-free. Then, at some point, the Spellcheck stopped working on my desktop, my phone app worked just fine. I had looked at the problem a number of times, without success. Then, finally decided that I was fed up and needed help, so posted on here yesterday. Today, when I went to use Joplin, the spellcheck was working again. I don't believe that I did anything different to normal.
