I was able to access ChatGPT without any VPN whatsoever until like last hour. But I was logged out and it showed a weird error message. I don’t know what’s going on. Here’s an screenshot.

Pakistan is a [supported country](https://platform.openai.com/docs/supported-countries).

It looks like you are having a problem connecting to one of the sites needed for the ChatGPT app. You can change your network to another WiFi provider or exclusively mobile data, see if changing the way you connect allows you to communicate with ChatGPT’s servers.
