Often, I get my Cursor queries blocked. A modal appears citing my connection or my VPN being at fault. I use VPN because I’m travelling in countries with internet censorship and also because I value privacy from ISPs, etc. I’m wondering if Cursor plans to block queries from VPN IP addresses, or to let them pass through? ---

No plans to block VPN queries. This is likely a bug with our infra. Do you still see connection error issues? ---

For what it’s worth I use a VPN literally 24/7 and have had no real issues (I may as well state too that I use or at the very least have Cursor open 24/7 too lol). That said, I do know that some VPNs just don’t work as well in general, which is not saying much, but if I had to recommend anything without outright shilling a VPN provider, I have had a lot better experiences with Wireguard-based VPNs in terms of general connectivity with various services. I’d be happy to recommend one to you, but won’t invite myself to do so. Feel free to ask though 🙂 ---

It’s good to know Cursor’s stance @truell20 , thank you. It must have been connection or temporary infra issues. In the case that it keeps happening I will post once more. I suggest this thread is resolved for now. @Adam I’m using a multi-hop wireguard-based VPN. 🙂 Thank you. ---

I think they do block some VPNs now. Best guess is you should try switching to another reputed VPN ---

Hey, we don’t block VPNs by default, but we have some intelligent risk analysis processes behind the scenes, and I can’t guarantee using a VPN wouldn’t increase your risk here! If you ever got blocked, drop us an email at [hi@cursor.com](mailto:hi@cursor.com) - we never want to block legitimate users! ---

I have just acquired Cursor Pro, and I cannot use it when my Zscaler Remote Access is on. I have to exit Zscaler for Cursor to work. This is not ideal for me, as I need both Zscaler and Curso running at the same time. ---

Can you try going to vscode settings and disabling http2? `cmd+shift+p` → `Open VSCode Settings` → `Disable Http2` That should allow it to work with zscaler ---

Been using Wireguard over UDP for the past 2 weeks and no problem whatsoever. In fact the VPN has made my Starlink connection much more stable by a large margin. [ProtonVPN for speed and security](https://protonvpn.com/) ---

Actually, I was told by customer service to set HTTP2 to true in the settings, which I did, but it is not helping. Alternatively, I need to ask my corporate IT to whitelist a bunch of domains—something they will never do. So, I am stuck. ---

Can you try `cmd+shift+p → Open VSCode Settings → Disable Http2` ? That fixes some issues with corporate proxies. It’s also possible that some domains will also need to be whitelisted by IT: [Security | Cursor - The AI Code Editor](https://www.cursor.com/security) ---

My Cursor is responding very slowly. If I send it a simple ‘Hello’, I have to wait several minutes for a reply. I ran a test, and the results are [here you would insert the diagnostics/result]. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? By the way, I’m using a VPN, and the software is flclash. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/f/0/f0230318f7c67344d14e0cef0823fa9d10ef3f86.png) ---
