The server browser can become blocked, probably on the API call to get the featured servers.
It is bad that an outage of this internet-accessible API disallows people from connecting to local servers; in the future if bedrock stops being maintained this bug would mean all multiplayer functionality would auto-brick.
Please make the call/UI asynchronous and allow people to join local servers in the server browser even if the featured server API call can’t return, so that players can enjoy playing minecraft together in perpetuity.
