Hey @The Mix

So I can't seem to get chat wee working on my device, I use chrome or tor but I also vpn from an different ip (normally UK or US) because Im in an constant war with my dad over the Internet access for me,

(orginallly this website was blocked but I bypassed it)

Any ideas?? 💡

    Hey @Past User

    Thanks for flagging this. Chat should still work even if you're using a VPN. What happens when you try and access the page? If you can send through a screenshot that would be really helpful :) 

    Thanks!

    Error 404 on the first time, (but that's when me and dad was fighting over the Internet access again)

    Second time was 504,

    Sadly I can't screenshot else I expose stuff like the security behind my method of madness of hiding my Internet search history and stuff,

    I was on my phone last night trying it, but I might try it through my laptop instead and see if that makes an difference

    Thanks for the extra info @Past User. :)

    If you're using a funky network setup, these issues become very difficult for us to diagnose. It sounds like the errors you're describing are being caused by the different ways your connection is being rerouted. Obviously if you need to use additional security then more power to you, but this might just be a side effect of doing that unforuntately!

    If you'd prefer, you can send a screenshot to us via PM (click and drag should work, even though there's no 'upload' button). It's unlikely we'll be able to do anything because this sounds like it's an issue with the different layers to your connection, but we can give it a shot if you like. :)

    Any more luck with the laptop?
