RedCat08 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Hi, I am at a Tim Horton's with free WiFi. I can surf the net and be on this forum but I can't use the web browser version to get on BBO (just spins and then says connection lost). Does BBO block certain WiFi's? Thanks,SueRedCat08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerardo Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 No. But BBO uses another port to connect to BBO servers (3336) which may be blocked by certain places (work, public wifis, etc). Try http://www.bridgebase.com/client/client.php?port=80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halx Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 BBO does say that it doesn't support native proxies so you are probably out of luck. Unfortunately i think you're right... i even tried with some tunneling sw but sincenow i had no luck! Maybe someone else could help me? I'm sure there is a solution... but i'm not so cool to find it alone... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm using Chrome on MacOS on a Southwest Airlines flight. WiFi works well, but BBO, both regular and preview versions, will not connect. I had high hopes for the port=80 trick but it seems to make no difference. Any other suggestions?

Results are no better with Safari or Firefox. I'll try the BBO app on my phone next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 No better luck with the iPhone app. It seems to use the same code as the Web Preview version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerardo Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 We recently changed the configuration of the preview to make it work with some types of firewalls. Please retry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
