While connected to any of my 3 VPN’s (Azure VPN, McAfee, and Norton), I am unable to connect to any Roblox game.
I receive the following error when I have my VPN on:
Steps to Reproduce:
Turn on a VPN
Try to Connect to a Game
Receive an Error
Systems information not relevant as this happens multiple computers (different networks too).
It is understandable to take extra security precautions with allowing studio access to VM’s, but it should still be possible. Consider adding a human verification wheel for VPN connections.
It would be much appreciated if this could be fixed as I (and hopefully others) realize how important having a VPN is today.
This is an issue. I used to have ad blocker on my phone and randomly it used to say “please check your internet connection” error message when I was in a middle of a game it was very frustrating, my internet connection is fine. So one day I decided to turn it off and it didn’t happen again. I think that happens with a VPN is to stop people that are IP banned from playing roblox. Just my idea.
Not everyone and everything is perfect - it looks like the Roblox scripts cannot detect those VPNs. It’s not weird, it’s expected. It’s like using a good paid VPN service such as Cyberghost in order to bypass limitations on platforms such as Netflix and Disney+.
Seems to be much more reliable, at least for Tunnelbear. Was able to successfully join 3 times in a row. 4th time I got a generic ID=17 error, which I’ve never had as an issue - might just be related to the fact that I somehow teleported from the US to Canada to Brazil in 3 minutes.
with respect to VPN, TeamCreate connections shouldn’t be treated any differently than normal game connections. Is the issue with TeamCreate still happening on VPNs that you can connect to games on?
The specific TeamCreate place I am working on is a place in a universe, and therefore must be opened from the develop tab of the website. (Unless there is a direct way to open it from the Studio menu which I am unaware of.)
This still appears to be an issue for me whilst using Norton’s VPN. Every time I hop into a game with it enabled it’ll simply infinitely load or if I try to use Roblox studio’s team create it also errors, however, once the VPN is off both these issues appear to go away.
It is a possibility that it could just be my VPN, but I thought I’d bring it up incase someone else is still having this issue too.
I’m having a similar issue where I can’t even connect to play games while using a VPN. I am using Private Internet Access. Team Create connections seem to be fine, but connecting to a live server is not.
