[Auto-detected: repeated errors on this page]
Reported via the vpn.free app on 20 Jul 2026.
What triggers this prompt. The app offers to report when it counts three or more errors within ten seconds on the page you’re viewing. That catches two very different situations, and separating them is most of the answer.
The site’s own scripts failing. We run inside the page, so we see every JavaScript error the site itself produces — including ones that have nothing to do with us. A large share of what this detector flagged reproduces on the original site with vpn.free switched off entirely. One error we chased for a while turned out to be a video-player script that a site loads on a page where the player library was never included — the same error appears without us anywhere in the picture. Those we can’t fix, and the prompt was too eager about them.
Our tunnel not being ready. The other group was real: the connection was still coming up when browsing started, then gave up after a timeout instead of loading the page. Fixes for that are live — the start-up failure is retried properly now instead of failing on the first stumble, and one bad connection can no longer drag the rest of them down.
Apologies for the noise from the prompt itself in the meantime.
