'Network error' or 'connection timed out'

Updated July 2026

A network error means the app couldn't reach the server. Check the device's internet first, then confirm the server link and your subscription status.

Likely causes

  • Device offline or DNS issue
  • ISP blocking/throttling the server
  • Server address changed or down
  • Subscription expired

How to fix it, step by step

  • Confirm other apps reach the internet on the same device
  • Restart your router and the device
  • Try a different DNS (e.g. 1.1.1.1) or a VPN if your ISP throttles streaming
  • Message us to verify the server link and your line

FAQ

Do I need a VPN?+

Not usually. But if your ISP throttles or blocks the server, a VPN can help. Try without one first.
