Getting Grok working again takes three steps, whether the block is a country firewall or a campus network filter.
Install VPN Super on iOS, Android, Windows, or Mac (beta), then sign in or use the free tier where available.
Pick Fastest Location for the quickest connect, or choose V2Ray or Super protocol on heavily censored networks.
Head to grok.com, the Grok app, or X—your connection routes around the network block, not your account.
Pick Fastest Location to auto-connect to the lowest-latency server, or check the current "NNN ms" reading next to any location before you connect.
Grok inherits X's access rules: if a network or government blocks X, Grok stops responding there too.
Grok is unreachable wherever X is government-blocked, commonly China, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia, and Turkmenistan.
Schools, offices, and public networks often block social platforms and AI chatbots as a category, right alongside X and Grok.
Grok inherits X's access rules, so it's unreachable wherever a government blocks X outright—commonly including these countries.
| Country | Block Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 🇨🇳China | Full block | X is blocked by the Great Firewall, so Grok is unreachable there too. |
| 🇮🇷Iran | Full block | X is blocked nationwide, so Grok is unreachable there too. |
| 🇰🇵North Korea | Full block | X is blocked nationwide, so Grok is unreachable there too. |
| 🇲🇲Myanmar | Full block | X is blocked nationwide, so Grok is unreachable there too. |
| 🇷🇺Russia | Full block | X is blocked nationwide, so Grok is unreachable there too. |
| 🇹🇲Turkmenistan | Full block | X is blocked nationwide, so Grok is unreachable there too. |
| 🇲🇾Malaysia | Restriction lifted (Jan 2026) | Grok was temporarily restricted over non-consensual deepfake safety concerns, a content-moderation decision rather than government censorship. Lifted by late January 2026. |
| 🇮🇩Indonesia | Restriction lifted (Jan 2026) | Grok was temporarily restricted over non-consensual deepfake safety concerns, a content-moderation decision rather than government censorship. Lifted by late January 2026. |
These government blocks target X broadly, not Grok specifically, and the list can change. VPN Super is designed to protect your privacy, not to circumvent national laws.
A few common questions come up when connecting to Grok through a VPN—here's what to do.
| Issue | Solution guidance |
|---|---|
| Grok feels slow or laggy over VPN | Some speed reduction is normal with any VPN. Use Fastest Location to auto-connect to the lowest-latency server, or check the current "NNN ms" reading next to any server before you pick one. |
| Worried about DNS or IPv6 leaks on a filtered network | On Windows and Mac (beta), DNS and IPv6 traffic stays inside the tunnel instead of leaking to your network's default resolver. iOS and Android don't currently include this feature, so V2Ray or Super protocol is the better pick for a heavily filtered network on those platforms. |
| Grok still asks me to sign in or upgrade after connecting | VPN Super restores network access to Grok. It doesn't create an X or xAI account, or unlock X Premium or SuperGrok features. |
| Not sure if using a VPN with Grok is allowed | Using a VPN is legal in the vast majority of countries. A small number of countries restrict or ban VPN use itself, so check your local law if you're unsure. |
VPN Super pairs protocols built for restrictive networks with the essentials that keep your connection private and fast.
Built for government firewalls, V2Ray and Super protocol keep Grok traffic moving on iOS and Android.
VPN Super keeps no activity logs, so your Grok prompts stay between you and xAI's systems.
Auto-connect to the lowest-latency server, or check the current "NNN ms" reading next to any location.
Windows and Mac (beta) keep DNS and IPv6 traffic inside the tunnel, out of a filtering network's view.
One plan covers up to 10 devices across iOS, Android, Windows, Mac (beta), Android TV, and Apple TV.
Premium spans 64 countries and 104 locations on iOS, Windows, and Mac (beta), and 58/78 on Android.
Windows and Mac (beta) connect over WireGuard as well as OpenVPN, VPN Super's two desktop protocols.
iOS and Android choose Super, IKEv2, OpenVPN, or V2Ray depending on network conditions.
VPN Super is available on every major platform, so a blocked network doesn't have to mean a blocked device.

Answers to the most common questions about using VPN Super with Grok.
Grok inherits X's access rules, so a network that blocks X blocks Grok too. That covers government firewalls in countries like China, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia, and Turkmenistan, plus school, work, and public networks that filter social platforms and AI chatbots as a category.
Not necessarily. The grok.com website and the standalone Grok app support a separate xAI account, with an option to link an X account if you want. Using Grok inside the X app itself does require an X account.
No. A free tier of Grok exists on its own, and X Premium or Premium+ (SuperGrok) raises usage limits. VPN Super restores network access—it doesn't unlock or bypass any paywalled tier.
Some speed reduction is normal with any VPN. Use Fastest Location to auto-connect to the lowest-latency server, or check the current "NNN ms" reading next to any server before you pick one.
Using a VPN is legal in the vast majority of countries. A small number of countries restrict or ban VPN use itself, so check your local law if you're unsure.
In January 2026, Malaysia and Indonesia temporarily restricted Grok over safety concerns tied to non-consensual deepfake generation—a content-moderation decision, not government censorship of access. Both restrictions were lifted by late January 2026. VPN Super's role here is restoring access where a network blocks X or Grok, not helping anyone get around a safety-driven restriction.
Yes, on iOS (20+ countries, 42+ locations) and Android (15+ countries, 26+ locations). Windows and Mac (beta) are Premium-only, so a school or work laptop on those platforms needs a Premium subscription.
On Windows and Mac (beta), yes—DNS and IPv6 traffic stays inside the tunnel instead of leaking to your network's default resolver. iOS and Android don't currently include this feature, so V2Ray or Super protocol is the better pick for a heavily filtered network on those platforms.
No. VPN Super's no-activity-logs policy covers your connection only—your Grok conversations live with xAI and X, not with VPN Super.
Stop refreshing a blocked chat. Get VPN Super and start talking to Grok again in minutes.
