Client won't launch on my university network

Since I moved back to school, I haven’t been able to launch Roblox. The play button doesn’t do anything, and clicking “join” next to a server just jumps to the top of the page. I tried to reinstall Roblox, but of course the play button still doesn’t do anything, so I can’t even get the installer, so the issue is on the web end.

I confirmed that it is the university network by setting up a hotspot on my phone and connecting to that, and it worked with that.

I tried in Chrome, also won’t work in IE or firefox.

I don’t know anything about web, but this hasn’t happened for the last two years. Is it something the university is restricting, or is it a web bug?

Try popping open the developer console (Ctrl+Shift+J) after you click play in chrome. See if there are any errors.

No errors, it suddenly started working.

Started happening again. :frowning:
And it looks like it is also happening for my roommate on his mac.

Here’s what I’m getting on the developer console:

Edit:
Went to the links in the developer console, confirmed university shenanigans:

But I don’t get why this would have started working yesterday for half a day and then resumed with being blocked.

“phishing” “malware” Sounds like they googled the bad bits.

AYYYY this is the same thing that happens to me.

I solved it by using ZenMate, a plugin for chrome, that acts like a VPN. So this way it lets me past the filtering blocking js.rbxcn.com and images.rbxcdn.com and stuff.

Alternatively contacting your school technical support you can probably get it unblocked, but mine where really unhelpful so I just said screw it and used a vpn.
