Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
- Still blocked? Clear Chrome's cache and retry in an Incognito window.
- Flags not visible? Make sure Chrome is up to date — some builds behave differently.
- ECH test shows disabled? Switch DNS provider (Cloudflare ↔ Google) then retest at tls-ech.dev.
- Mobile issues? Ensure Android/iOS Chrome has the latest system update; some builds lag behind desktop.
