Hello everyone,

If you’re experiencing an issue with ChatGPT and receiving an error message that reads “An error occurred. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com,” we’re here to help you resolve it.

One of the potential causes of this error message is a program that provides a Web protection feature, which may be interfering with the proper functioning of ChatGPT. The solution is to disable this feature, which can have a negative impact on the performance of ChatGPT.

The most common program that includes this feature is NordVPN. If you’re using NordVPN, all you need to do is turn off the Web protection feature to resolve the issue with ChatGPT.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with my PC at all. ChatGPT is working only with Vivaldi browser on my PC. Neither Brave Browser nor Microsoft Edge.
