Overview
Some internet service providers (ISPs) run security software that blocks the Taskade domain by mistake. This is rare. If it happens to you, contact your ISP first. These blocks come from aggressive content filters, corporate firewall rules, or DNS restrictions that flag domains the provider has not reviewed.
TL;DR: You can reach Taskade from any network. Some ISPs block the Taskade domain by mistake, through content filters, corporate firewalls, or DNS restrictions. Ask your ISP to whitelist
taskade.com,*.taskade.com, or restore access instantly by switching to Cloudflare or Google DNS or turning on the free Cloudflare VPN.
How to Fix It
Match your situation to the fastest fix, then follow the steps for that fix.
| Situation | Fastest fix |
|---|---|
| Home Wi-Fi blocks Taskade | Switch DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8) |
| Need access right now | Turn on the free Cloudflare VPN (1.1.1.1) |
| Corporate or school network | Ask IT to whitelist *.taskade.com |
| Want the block lifted for good | Ask your ISP to whitelist the Taskade domains |
Contact Your ISP
- Call or email your ISP's support team.
- Ask them to whitelist the following domains:
taskade.com*.taskade.com
- Ask them to tell you when the domains are unblocked.
- Restart your router, then open Taskade again.
Use Cloudflare Free VPN (1.1.1.1)
As an interim solution, you can use Cloudflare's free VPN to bypass ISP-level blocks:
- Visit https://1.1.1.1/ in your web browser.
- Choose your operating system and follow the installation instructions.
- Enable the VPN connection.
- Reopen Taskade and test the connection.
Try a Different DNS Provider
If you prefer not to use a VPN, switching your DNS settings can also help:
- Open your device's Network Settings.
- Change your DNS server to one of the following:
- Cloudflare:
1.1.1.1and1.0.0.1 - Google:
8.8.8.8and8.8.4.4
- Cloudflare:
- Save the settings and restart your browser.
- Open https://www.taskade.com and check whether the site loads. If it does not, try the VPN steps above.
Tips
- If you are on a corporate or school network, contact your IT administrator instead of the ISP. They can update the organization's firewall or proxy rules.
- Clear your browser cache after a DNS or VPN change, so that stale entries do not interfere.
- Test from a different device or network, for example mobile data. This tells you whether the block is at the ISP or on your own machine.
