Hi,

Did you clear Browser cache? - if yes please try the following commands:
Generate new certificate
Bash: 
pvecm updatecerts --force

Restart pvedaemon and pveproxy
Bash: 
systemctl restart pvedaemon.service
systemctl restart pveproxy.service
 
I had but I tried it again, no change.. Here are the logs from syslog during this

When I found I didn't have the right rep in sources.list I reinstalled and put in the correct repository and updated everything, the issue hasn't gone away though I am still unable to connect with VNC.

Hmmm, Ok can you check if you have firewall or antivirus dropping the noVNC connection?
 
appears that might be the case, I know firewall is disabled on both machines but I spun up a new VM and connected and it worked fine. I'll do some more troubleshooting here.
 
on 2 machines it didn't but it did on a 3rd so I think it's something more specific to those machines I will have to examine further.
 
I would like to give my two cents here as I have just witnessed this error, too.

Currently I am accessing my Proxmox installation at home via an ssh tunnel from a macOS Big Sur (11.7.4) and the integrated Safari Browser - not working, all Console connections are failing.
After switching to Firefox it's working like a charme without any changes.
