Every group of totally disconnected type is locally profinite?
Let $G$ be a Hausdorff topological group in which every point has a neighborhood basis of open compact neighborhoods. Let's call this a group of totally disconnected (td)-type.
On the other hand, we have a notion of a locally profinite group, a Hausdorff topological group which has a neighborhood basis of the identity consisting of open compact subgroups. A locally profinite group is obviously of td-tytpe.
Is there an example of a group of td-type which is not locally profinite?

"Is there an example of a group of td-type which is not locally profinite?"
No. This was proved by D. van Dantzig in the 1930s:
Van Dantzig, D.: Zur topologischen Algebra. III. Brouwersche und Cantorsche Gruppen, Compositio Mathematica, Volume 3 (1936), p. 408-426
For a modern presentation of the proof, see e.g. Phillip Wesolek's lecture notes:
