I am in the same situation with you, but after I switched nodes and changed routing mode to global in clash for windows, I still cannot use ChatGPT…

The difference is that I’m not using any kind of VPN. I’m in a fresh install of Ubuntu with a fresh install of firefox, no addons nor extensions. Running bare metal, no VM. Everything updated. Can’t even get to log in.
(btw, I have no idea of how to change my username to something “normal”)

I’ve set it up, but the problem is still not solved.
Yes, turning off the VPN before could solve this problem, but I just wanted to use ChatGpt when I couldn’t go directly to the website without opening the VPN.
I USE clash,it works！thanks!
Issue got resolved after changing to a supported region in my VPN settings.
if your vpn are host by cloud or provided by some cloud company, it will cause this error. So maybe the solution is to change the vpn node until success…

I too was extremely frustrated by this issue and after long research I found that this error is mostly because of yhe country restrictions. During my research to the solution, I found a video on YouTube that proved to be helpful for getting out of this issue. It covers the same topic and provides step-by-step instructions on how to fix it. He explains a very quick method to fix the access denied error.
Here’s the link to the video: ChatGPT: Access Denied - You Don't Have Access To chat.openai.com | How To Fix Error - YouTube
