For every n, the Brauer-Manin obstruction does not obstruct positive integer solutions to the Erdos-Straus equation, yet it gives a universal local condition (a product of Hilbert symbols equal to -1) for all such solutions.

Brauer-Manin obstruction for Erd\H{o}s-Straus surfaces
For every n, the Brauer-Manin obstruction does not obstruct positive integer solutions to the Erdos-Straus equation, yet it gives a universal local condition (a product of Hilbert symbols equal to -1) for all such solutions.
