Your network blocks the HungKings assets

If you are reading this, the page loaded but the files that make it work —
stylesheets, scripts, piece images — did not. The site will look broken and the
board will not respond.

This is almost never a fault on our side. Something between you and us is
blocking part of the connection.

Try these first

Turn off extensions. Ad blockers and privacy extensions sometimes block asset
domains by pattern rather than by name. Open the site in a private window with
extensions disabled and see whether it behaves.

Try a different network. If it works on mobile data but not on your home or
office connection, the block is on that network.

Check any VPN or DNS filter you are running. Family filters and pi-hole style
blockers are common causes.

If you administer the network

The site loads its interface from the same host you are already allowing, but
also needs its asset and websocket connections. Please allow:

  • The site host itself, over HTTPS
  • WebSocket connections to the same host. Blocking the Upgrade header is
    the single most common cause of a board that renders but never moves
  • The site is chess only. There is no video, no advertising and no third-party
    tracking to filter out

If you are blocking on the grounds that it is a game, blocking the websocket
rather than the whole domain gives users a site that looks fine and fails
silently — which generates support requests for you. Block the host outright
instead.

Still broken

Tell us through the contact page, and say what network you are on and
what your browser console reports. A blocked asset almost always leaves an error
there naming the thing that was refused.
