I’ve searched the forum about similar topics, after checking all the steps, I still failed.

# information:

1. Almost the same as this post: [Error sending request for url ()](by the author Expertium on Nov.1 2024)
2. Windows 10, I did not update my OS or change any Internet-related settings
3. I‘ve updated Anki version to ⁨25.02 (038d85b1)⁩  
Python 3.9.18 Qt 6.6.2 PyQt 6.6.1 24.10 RC2 (898c9128) but the promblem still existed.
4. I am not using a proxy.
5. Syncing was working just fine yesterday, same Anki version (while the error information prompted), same everything
6. Add-ons can be updated, so this problem is related to syncing but not add-ons…somehow
7. Everything other than Anki is working fine
8. None of the topics with “Error sending request for url ()” (which seems to be happening since at least 2021) contained a working solution
9. I can log in [https://ankiweb.net/decks](https://ankiweb.net/decks) to find my decks.
10. By switching to another account with the same PC and the same anki, it could synchronize smoothly.
11. Rebooting my PC doesn’t help

Solved.  
I rebooted my router and found the action worked.  
But I still confused about why did the problem happen.

Your account was migrated to a different server due to a hardware issue, and your router cached the old location longer than it should have.
