Yes, absolutely. Feel free to include my case in your public examples. I can see the effort you are putting into testing and solving these problems, and I appreciate it. Running the browser from the user’s own machine and IP sounds particularly useful for cases like this.
Have you also noticed that ordinary Google searches in ChatGPT Work’s cloud browser are often blocked by reCAPTCHA image challenges? Amazon also gets blocked, Idealista asks the user to swipe right to verify, and every Cloudflare protected website I have tested gets stuck in an endless “Verify you are human” loop. Even when I manually click the “I’m not a robot” checkbox, the same verification appears again.
I experienced another separate issue specifically on Wizz Air. After entering the correct email and password, the login page simply reloads and asks for the credentials again.
I would be interested to know whether Ports can handle these verification and login flows when running from the user’s machine, and whether the same local IP approach will also work on mobile.
This /goal is still valid.
@ChatGPT@thsottiaux@OpenAIDevs, please take it seriously.
Today you launched website sign-in for ChatGPT Work browser on web and mobile. But in my testing, some websites detect the cloud IP and return no data or incorrect data. Others get stuck in an endless Cloudflare verification loop, even when I click the checkbox manually.
When a website does load, entering the correct email and password often sends me straight back to the login page.
Persistent sign-in has little value if users cannot reliably access websites in the first place. Shipping new features on top of unresolved browser, Remote, sync, and stability issues only makes the problem worse.
Please fix the foundation before building more on top of it.
One example is Wizz Air. The homepage loads, but the flight search returns no results every single time. The same search shows available flights when performed from a normal laptop and network. This is caused by the cloud IP.
The serious problem is that it does not appear as an IP block. It simply shows no data, even though the data exists. Users who do not verify the result elsewhere could believe it and make decisions based on false information.
I also get blocked on websites protected by Cloudflare. The page asks me to click the “I’m not a robot” checkbox. Even when I take control and click it manually, Cloudflare reloads the same verification again and again indefinitely. It never lets me reach the website or its sign-in page.
Now even normal Google searches inside ChatGPT Work trigger reCAPTCHA image challenges, such as selecting bicycles or scooters, completely preventing the search.
The cloud environment also does not allow users to install or use a VPN. Please consider allowing users to connect their own VPN, offering an integrated VPN through a partner, or providing each user with a private IP that behaves like a normal connection.
Without a solution, the cloud browser can either return false results or block access entirely. This is even worse than before.

There’s an app for macOS called Amphetamine. If you activate it, you can fully close your laptop while an AI tool or another app is working, and it will keep running. It basically stops your Mac from going to sleep when you close the lid, so you don’t have to leave it open when you go out. https://t.co/VhZ3kk9nEj
