Cannot access SLR videos or app downloads from home network...

rocco

When on my Quest2, on my home network, I can no longer access:

SLR app (it launches, I see logo, then hangs without showing any of the UI)
DeoVR (DeoVR works fine, but when I try to go to sexlikereal.com, it hangs)

However, if I connect my Quest2 to my iPhone hotspot, it works.

Also, when on my desktop (Win10) and on my home network (XFinity East Coast), I am unable to download the Quest2 APK or the Quest2 PC app -- those downloads hang. If I turn on my VPN, the downloads work.

Seems as there is a block/filter on my network path/source. I have seen posts here with similar issues.

As a lifetime member, this is frustrating.
How to resolve please?
Thanks.

Things to do or try:

Reset the DNS in your router / unplug your router for 2 minutes, and plug it back in. Do'nt just switch it off, it has to be disconnected from power.
Quest 2: If installed from Meta App Store:
- Go to the Headset storage setting and remove the DeoVR cached / temporary data.
Quest 2: If sideloaded
- Remove app, restart the headset and install again.
Windows, press the windows key on your keyb, type in cmd and hit enter.
In the command prompt type in ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter.

Thanks, Rakly3, for the suggestions! Unfortunately, I am still having the same problem. I cannot download the apps on my desktop... and I cannot access SLR on my Quest via SLR or Deo.

Via VPN or iPhone hotspot, everything works. On my home Xfinity network, SLR/Deo do not work (they hang on network connection).

**UPDATE: I figured it out. Sharing here in case others run into same issue. On my router, I had GEO Threat blocking turned on for a few countries. I turned it off and everything is working.
