Recent Difficulties Accessing ChatGPT

Recently, xiaoz attempted to access the web version of ChatGPT and encountered an "Unable to load site" error message. At first, xiaoz thought it was a problem with ChatGPT itself, but that was not the case. In this article, I will explore the reasons behind this issue in detail and provide some effective solutions to help you restore normal access.

Cause of the Problem

Due to well-known network access restrictions, the original domain of ChatGPT, chat.openai.com, has been changed by OpenAI to chatgpt.com. Since ChatGPT has blocked access from within China, this has led to our commonly used proxy software failing to update the new domain chatgpt.com to its proxy list in a timely manner, which is the reason for the "Unable to load site" error.

Solutions

Depending on the magic software you use and its different settings, the solution principles are the same. Here are the steps:

Method 1

Add chatgpt.com to the proxy list (PAC), then re-access https://chatgpt.com/

Method 2

Use a global proxy to access, but this method is generally not recommended, as it may cause inconvenience when accessing domestic websites. Method 1 is recommended.

Conclusion

Through this article, we have explored the reasons behind the "Unable to load site" error and provided some practical solutions. I hope this information can help you access ChatGPT smoothly.
