I have a VPN pre installed into my device that is can’t remove, and while it allows for other AI generation tools, it prevents me from loading Perchance pages, and if I do, they don’t work… is there any way y’all could make an alternate website or give me some alternatives? Thanks, love y’all’s work, have a great day.

    Your device is badly infected with “VPN” malware packed as factory bloatware. A proper VPN allows you to fully turn on and off; not taking over the entire device forcing everything to go through VPN and provides a fake switch.

    I will never use that device for any trusted transactions (like banking) on it and I would highly suggest you get a new phone without all these malware especially with VPN.

    Yes, it’s common among VPN market where they advertise as the good guy but did dirty underneath. Just learn the lesson and only run VPN inside a virtual machine (VM). Don’t get “too good to be true” cheap devices next time.

    Site-note: Perchance site is fine. I just released a new feature. It’s extremely likely the problem is solely coming from client device (your phone).
