I have noticed this issue occasionally since the last patch (on 05-05-22). However; starting with the patch on 05-10-22 it happens 100% of the time.
When loading the game launcher (from Steam or Arc), I need to restart the launcher 4 times before I can play the game. The first attempt will result in a total failure to load, “Error 46: Transfer failed after multiple attempts”, or “The connection to the server was lost”. The second attempt will inform me the website is down, but that I can still play the game (the launcher then crashes) or “Unable to authenticate: Couldn’t even attempt account server connection”. The third attempt will inform me of a DNS error. And the final attempt will allow me to play the game.
NOTE: While writing this, I tried launching the game (so I could get the accurate error messages), and have been unable to log into the game at all. Now I only get the “Error 46…” (from both Steam and Arc). It does seem to be downloading a patch (very slowly) at the moment.

--- Same Here. reinstall even on a different computer does not help either... the May 10th update broke me. So no PC STO. But a least I have PS4 STO that works.
*I hope this helps some other person. Note before this for the last 2 years no issue with STO using US proxy setting.
