Access denied You do not have access to chat.openai.com. The site owner may have set restrictions that prevent you from accessing the site. Ray ID: 7951b7f4cbcea7dd Timestamp: 2023-02-06 06:09:43 UTC Your IP address: 144.xx.xx.xxx Requested URL: chat.openai.com/chat Error reference number: 1020 Server ID: FL_34F234 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Solution:

  1. Try switching accounts: ineffective.
  2. Try logging out and logging back in: ineffective.
  3. Switch to a VPN proxy and select a foreign server: problem solved.
  4. If switching VPN does not solve the problem, seek official assistance and provide a screenshot of the error message.
  5. ⚠️ Email addresses registered in China cannot be used.

Personal speculation:

It is highly likely that the previously used proxy server’s IP has been blacklisted.
