Relay error: [WinError 5] access is denied, preventing access to most websites except YouTube.
Bypassing DPI for general web access, not limited to specific services.
This issue highlights a critical failure in the product's core value proposition: general internet access bypassing DPI. The 'WinError 5' indicates a system-level access problem, likely related to permissions or firewall configurations, preventing the relay from functioning broadly. The fact that...

Inability to access Cloudflare dashboard and create workers, even with external paid tools, and broader access issues for Telegram and other sites despite IP change.
A self-sufficient DPI bypass solution that enables access to all necessary infrastructure for its operation and general internet use.
This issue reveals a critical paradox: the tool designed to bypass DPI cannot facilitate access to its own foundational infrastructure (Cloudflare dashboard for worker creation). The reliance on external, paid services like Shecan to even access Cloudflare, and the subsequent failure to create wo...
