Error message

xiaohongshu/unfollow: expected Xiaohongshu profile host, got ${parsedHref.hostname}

What it means

After navigation, the command verifies the browser actually landed on an https://*.xiaohongshu.com page. If the final URL's protocol is not https or the hostname is not a xiaohongshu.com domain (e.g. a redirect to a login gateway, carrier captive portal, or anti-bot interstitial), this CommandExecutionError naming the offending hostname is thrown.

Solutions

1. Check the reported hostname in the message and resolve www.xiaohongshu.com from the same machine (nslookup/ping) to detect DNS hijack or proxy rewriting
2. Disable/fix VPN, proxy, or hosts-file entries that rewrite xiaohongshu.com and retry
3. Open the profile URL manually in the automated Chrome and complete any risk-control/verification challenge, then re-run
4. Retry from a different network if your current network intercepts the domain

Example fix

// hosts file before
203.0.113.9 www.xiaohongshu.com
// after (remove the override, use real DNS)
# entry removed

// pre-check DNS on your machine
const { addresses } = await dns.promises.lookup('www.xiaohongshu.com');
if (!addresses.length) throw new Error('www.xiaohongshu.com does not resolve — check proxy/hosts');

try { await cli.unfollow({ 'user-id': id }); } catch (e) { if (/expected Xiaohongshu profile host/.test(String(e.message))) { /* disable VPN/proxy, fix hosts/DNS, or complete the challenge then retry */ } else throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: The site redirected off-domain (e.g. to a risk-control or verification page on another host); DNS hijacking or corporate proxy rewriting the domain; a hosts-file override pointing www.xiaohongshu.com elsewhere; the browser resolving to a mirror or an error page whose hostname differs.

Common situations: Running from a network with a transparent proxy/VPN that intercepts xiaohongshu.com; DNS pollution (common on some networks/regions) redirecting the domain; anti-bot challenge redirecting to a third-party captcha host; mistyped proxy config in the browser profile.
