For the past year, I've been using ChatGPT for work, mainly from home. However, since last week, I can't access ChatGPT when connected to my home wifi. I keep getting a message saying "ChatGPT is not available in your region" on my laptop, desktop, and mobile devices. To troubleshoot, I tried connecting at the office and using a mobile hotspot, and everything works fine there. This makes me think there's an issue with my wifi connection. How can I resolve this since I'm using a Mac?

It sounds like your home wifi might have some security settings blocking access to certain sites, including ChatGPT. Try checking your router settings or any firewall rules that could be affecting your connection. Sometimes, DNS settings can also cause issues. Switching to a public DNS like Google's (8.8.8.8) might help too. You might want to give that a shot!
If you're using a work computer, just make sure there aren’t any blockers set up by your IT department that could affect your access, even if it's your personal device. It's worth double-checking your network configuration and see if anything is changed or not allowing certain connections.
This is actually my personal laptop, and I haven’t done anything different in the settings, so it’s really puzzling.
