Notifications

When accessing HF via a VPN notifications dont ever load, does anyone else have this issue and is there a fix for it?

maybe your vpn is going down often? You need to refresh hf from time to time

I think notifications are loaded via web socket connections and a lot of VPN providers block or limit web socket traffic, so that might be the reason why.

Could be an issue on your end (the browser or the vpn). I've been using HF with a VPN for years and rarely face this.

VPN could be blocked by CloudFlare rules, hence websocket gets blocked due to IP could be DC or on a strict ban list. Tried with a residential proxy?
