Use custom proxy when accessing international sites

Are you experiencing issues with accessing international websites just like the below website?

For anyone wishing to purchase tickets on the Euro website or any site outside the US, we recommend CUSTOM PROXIES.

Our proxies are only tested and confirmed to work within the US. If you’re doing international buys, you’ll want to use a custom proxy supporting external sites. You can load a custom proxy by going into the proxy setting. Below are the steps.

1. Click on the 3 dots on the upper right

2. Choose My Account

3. On the left-hand panel menu, click on Setup Your Proxy Networks

4. Under the CUSTOM PROXY SERVERS (RECOMMENDED) section, check the "USE PROXY SERVER LIST" box.

5. You can import your custom proxies by clicking the Import Proxy List button.

We are considering trying to support international websites with our proxies but at the moment we only support US-based sites. The reason this site does not work is because it’s an international site. If you use international proxies, you will be able to get this site to work.

We have tested this with all competitor browsers as well and confirmed that this is NOT a browser issue but rather a proxy issue as all browsers including all competitor browsers have the exact same issue as well when viewing international sites such as the above using non-international proxies.   

This should be a fairly simple fix by using international proxies as this will resolve any blocking in international sites.

How to Override Security Settings and Open Private Tabs on Mac

If you have a Mac, when you first install Private Tabs, you will get a prompt like this, which will appear as not opening; this is normal.  If you have a MAC, you'll need to do the following.

PART 1 
- Push "Show in Finder" 

- Locate Private Tabs Launcher  in the "Apps" folder 

-  Right Click or Hold the "CMD" key down and click the icon Private Tabs. 

-  Private Tabs will bring up this box and this time it will say a "Open" above the box. 

-  Click "Open Anyway" and Private Tabs will automatically open. 

- Close Everything Down and re open again

Now Private Tabs should open without any warnings. 

PART 2 

To change which apps can open on your Mac or adjust your security settings:

  • Click the Apple menu, then select "System Preferences".
  • Choose "Security & Privacy" in the System Preferences window.
  • In the Security & Privacy settings, navigate to the "General" tab.

That's it!

Following these steps should resolve the issue, allowing you to open Private Tabs app without encountering security warnings.

Fix For Endless Waiting Room Spinners - Works With Most Accounts



TEMPORARY FIX FOR ENDLESS WAITING ROOM SPINNERS 
If you're experiencing an issue with Ticket Master Qs that spin forever and never load, the official fix will be pushed out in the next few days, but this should work for most until then. As a temporary solution, you should be able to fix it by pushing "Rotate IP" and then "Advance Rotation" in classic mode. Then, in the advanced rotation menu, choose this combo.  If you are on a lower plan that does not have access to classic mode, you will need to wait for the official fix in a few days.  

NOTE: This issue is a combination of account / fingerprint / proxy-based, so this may only work for some users.  If this does not work for you just know we are pushing an update soon that will fix it. 

BEFORE YOU DO THIS CONFIRM..

  • Confirm you are using the latest version of PT and there is no yellow update buttons
  • You do not have AntiVirus or AntiSpyware running 
  • You do not have a VPN running on your local network 
  • You do not have  a proxy server running on your local network 
  • You do not have any additional extensions installed in Chrome mode 

IMPORTANT - ONLY RUN PRIVATE TABS IF POSSIBLE   

  • If you run other browsers besides Private Tabs do not run them at the same time while you're having this block as they will generate network traffic that can cause you to get flagged and then create these spinner effects.  We are going to be addressing this in the future but for now make sure you keep them closed if you're having problems. 

NEXT STEP IF THIS DOES NOT WORK
If this does not work please email support@privatetabs.com and take a screen shot of your setup. Do a FULL SCREEN, making sure you get the browser, all tabs, the exact date/time (your system clock) and tell us your time zone.

We are are aware of what is causing this issue but it will take us a few days to fix, we believe this will be a temp solution for you tho until we can push out more elegant solution.

ISSUE TWO -  404 PAGE OR PAGE TIME OUT (NOT ALL TABS LOAD)
There is new block happening that we will be fixing as well in our upcoming release for those that experience problems where the tab does not load 100%. This often will happen if you open 30+ tabs. We are aware of this issue and have a solution / fix scheduled for it, we will be pushing this out next few days so look for an update!

NEWLY RELEASED FEATURES 

  • You can now forward all SMS phone numbers to a email via settings
  • We now offer phones for as low as $10 a line (Inventory is Limited) 
  • New SIMBOX support (available in $499 plans or higher)

UPCOMING FEATURES - LOOK FOR IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS 

  • Adding Ticket Master button shortcut next to Gmail
  • Phone number under the email in the toolbar on chrome 
  • Automatic error handling for pages that do not load in Chrome Mode
  • Automatic block detection and unblocking  for "Press and Hold" error
  • Automatic block detection and unblocking for "Q Spins Forever" 
  • Automatic block detection and unblocking for select European Sites 
  • New Ticket Flipping Extension Update
  • Secondary User For Cheaper Plan Types (Call For Early Access)

Massive Chrome Engine Upgrade!


THIS WEEKS UPDATES INCLUDES:

1. Hotkeys and Legend: Introducing hotkeys for easier navigation.

MAC:

  • Ctrl + Tab or Option + Tab: Toggle between tabs in Classic Mode.

Windows:

  • Ctrl + PageUp or Ctrl + PageDown: Toggle between tabs in Classic Mode.
  • Ctrl + Tab: Change Tab
  • Ctrl + R: Reload Tab
  • Ctrl + W: Close Tab
  • Ctrl + L: Focus URL Bar
  • Ctrl + P: Save Website To PDF
  • Ctrl + F: Search Text In Page

2. 2FA Support: Gmail, Outlook, iMail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail, and custom domains via forwarding or DNS.

In the past, Private Tabs only supported 2FA to appear on the smart toolbar for Gmail email addresses. With this update, it will now support 2FA from other public email domains and can now support 2FA from custom domains via forwarding or adding DNS records.

3. Right-click: Launching the link using the same account or multiple accounts.

When right-clicking on a link, you now have the option to open the link on multiple tabs using the same account or open the link on multiple tabs using different accounts. You can even select the account/s you want to launch the link with and specify how many accounts you want to open the link with.

4. Shows on sale - Right-click copy and paste without authentication:

We fixed a bug where if you're logged into the Shows on Sale dashboard and try to copy the link and paste it into another session, it wouldn't work because it would force you to log in to Shows on Sale again.

5. Multiple monitor support for Flare dashboard:

We've added multiple monitor support for different dashboards, including the Flare system for Ticket Flipping, allowing you to break apart these controller dashboards into a separate window if you have multiple monitors or keep them on the same monitor.

6. Shortcut buttons for launching Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or email:

We now have shortcut buttons for launching emails that dynamically change based on what you have set up. If you create a Gmail account or a Hotmail account, the button will change to Gmail or Hotmail, making it easier to log in and stay logged in to that email session.

7. Tab Controller - refresh certain domains, shows, or venues:

The Tab controller has been updated. You can now refresh certain domains, shows, or venues. If you have multiple tabs open and need to refresh tabs associated with specific shows, this feature allows you to do so easily.

8. Pausing & muting music on AXS queues:

We've added the ability to pause and mute music on AXS queues.

9. New Error Detection for "Holding Down Button":

Private Tabs now detects and automatically bypasses prompts like "Hold this button down" and other nag screen prompts like "Do you want to accept cookies" or "Are you still there?", ensuring smoother operation.

10. Bug Fixes and Line Position Support for AXS and Ticketmaster queues:

We've fixed various bugs and added support for line positions in AXS and Ticketmaster queues.


CHROME MODE - REVAMP - Supports 150+ Tabs with hotkeys

The Chrome Mode Revamp is a game-changer for users managing more than 20 tabs. Previously, we recommended the Classic version because of these built-in extra features that are not available in the Chrome version, but performance would slow after 20 tabs. However, with the Chrome version, you can now open over a hundred tabs with improved memory management. This means smoother performance, even with intensive tasks like running AXS queues. With the revamp, Chrome now supports the below essential features.

  • Supports 150+ Tabs with hotkeys. Thanks to improved memory management, you can now open over a hundred tabs or even 200 tabs with the Chrome version if you have a fast PC.
  • Same 2FA support as the Classic version.
  • Smart Toolbar
  • Account Manager
  • Autofill
  • 2FA Support
  • Multiple Tab Launcher
  • Tagging support
  • Tab color coding & grouping

Open 100+ Tabs without Issue, Launch Same Account, Hot Keys and More!

We recently discovered a bug that caused performance issues when opening multiple tabs in Classic Mode with the tab monitor enabled. This bug affected users who attempted to open more than 15 tabs, resulting in degraded performance. This update now includes a fix for this problem and several requested features, including HotKeys, Sound Muting, the ability to Open the Same User Account, and many others based on YOUR feedback!

THIS WEEKS UPDATES INCLUDES: 

  1. Performance Fix: Resolved the issue causing performance problems when opening more than 15 tabs in Classic Mode with preview thumbnails enabled.
  2. Enhanced Tab Monitoring: Added venue, showtime, and account information to the preview box in the tab monitor, supporting ticket providers such as Ticketmaster, ASX, Etix, Live Nation, and Vivid Seats.
  3. Improved Navigation: Introduced hotkeys (Ctrl + Tab or Option + Tab on Mac) for toggling between tabs in Classic Mode.
  4. Tab Muting Feature: Enabled the ability to mute tabs to prevent disruptive autoplay videos and performance issues.
  5. Interface Enhancements: Shrank horizontal tab bars in Classic Mode to facilitate easy tab navigation without relying on the tab monitor.
  6. User Control Options: Enabled the option to choose between double-click and single-click tab closure to prevent accidental tab closures.
  7. Expanded Right-Click Support: Added support for right-clicking to open the same account, different accounts, multiple accounts, or the tab launcher.
  8. Focus Improvement: Ensured that focus remains on the list page instead of shifting to a new window, eliminating the need for constant toggling.

HOW TO TURN THE TAB PREVIEW BACK ON
By default this is now turned off because we noticed that if you open more than 20 tabs it slows down your machine.   However if you typically run under 20 tabs at once you can turn it back on by going into the settings (3 dots) , my account , scroll to bottom and you will see the checkbox there.  Just uncheck it and turn it back on. 

NEXT WEEKS SCHEDULED UPDATES BASED ON CUSTOMER FEEDBACK! 

  • Account Bulk Import Tool: This will allow you to import all your existing accounts vs creating new accounts using our account creator tool. 
  • Color-coded Tabs w/Tab Grouping: allow you to quickly group and sort tabs by color.


HOW TO UPGRADE TO THE LATEST VERSION 
You MUST upgrade to the latest version or Private Tabs may not work correctly! 

  • Private Tabs Launcher Update: Users can update their Private Tabs Launcher by clicking the yellow button under the credentials option.

  • Private Tabs Classic Version Update: For the Classic Version, users can click the live update button on the upper right portion of their toolbar within the Private Tabs application.

It is essential for users to update their Private Tabs to ensure optimal performance and take advantage of the latest enhancements.

Understanding Private Tabs Billing: A Guide for Customers

At our platform, we strive to ensure clarity and transparency in our billing processes, especially when it comes to Private Tabs (PT) subscriptions. Private Tabs offer enhanced browsing experiences, but it's essential for our customers to understand how billing works to avoid any confusion or surprises. Let's delve into the details:

Immediate Full Charge: When a customer subscribes to Private Tabs, they are charged the full amount immediately, which covers the first month. This upfront payment ensures a commitment to the service and helps us maintain the integrity of our subscription model.

Prorated Billing for the next Month: Following the initial full charge, the billing cycle aligns with the first of each month. However, if a customer subscribes on a date other than the first of the month, they'll receive a prorated bill for the remaining days of that month until the first of the following month.

Example: Suppose a customer purchases Private Tabs on February 22nd, and the subscription fee is $499.

  • February 22nd: Customer purchases Private Tabs and is charged $499 on the same day.
  • March 22nd: Customer receives a prorated bill for the period from March 22nd to April 1st, covering the service rendered during this time.
  • April 1st: Customer will be charged the full amount of $499 for the upcoming month.
  • Subsequent Billing: From May 1st onwards, all billing cycles will consistently process on the 1st of each month.

Here are answers to some common questions about the billing process for Private Tabs subscriptions:

 Why was I charged the full amount immediately after subscribing to Private Tabs?

  • The immediate full charge ensures a commitment to the service and helps us maintain the integrity of our subscription model. It also confirms your serious interest in utilizing Private Tabs for enhanced browsing experiences.

Why did I receive a prorated bill in the second month after subscribing?

  • The prorated bill in the second month covers the portion of the month from the date of subscription until the first of the following month. This aligns your billing cycle with our standard monthly cycle, starting on the first of each month.

How is the prorated amount calculated?

  • The prorated amount is calculated based on the number of days between your subscription date and the first of the following month, divided by the total number of days in that month. This ensures that you're only charged for the days you've used the service in that initial month.

Will I be charged the full amount every month from now on?

  • Yes, starting from the second billing cycle onwards, you will be charged the full amount of the subscription fee on the first of each month. This ensures regularity and consistency in your billing cycle.

Can I change my billing cycle to align with a specific date other than the first of the month?

  • At the moment, we maintain a standardized billing cycle that begins on the first of each month for all Private Tabs subscriptions. However, we're continuously evaluating feedback and suggestions from our customers to improve our services.

What if I have questions or concerns about my billing statement?

  • If you have any questions or concerns about your billing statement or the billing process for Private Tabs, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team. We're here to assist you and ensure a smooth experience with our subscription services.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my Private Tabs subscription plan?

  • Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your Private Tabs subscription plan at any time through your account settings. Changes to your subscription plan will be reflected in your next billing cycle.

ASX PHONES APPEARING AS LAND LINES - HOW TO FIX

Attention all ASX users! We've got a heads-up on a recent hiccup affecting some accounts: phone lines are being mistakenly flagged as landlines, even if they're mobile numbers. This can throw a wrench in receiving vital verification codes and notifications from the ASX website.

Fear not, financial friends! We're working hand-in-hand with the ASX to solve this snafu ASAP. But in the meantime, here's what you can do to stay on top of your game:

  1. Contact ASX Support: Reach out to ASX support via email them, detailing the problem. They can assist in adjusting your phone number setting to reflect it as a mobile number.
  2. Utilize an Alternate Phone Number: If you possess an unaffected phone number, consider using it for receiving verification codes and notifications.
  3. Await Resolution: We anticipate resolving this issue promptly. You may choose to wait for the forthcoming fix before engaging with the ASX website.

Bonus Tip: Keep an eye on the ASX website's help center for updates and further guidance.

Remember, this is a temporary blip, and we're all in this together. Now, go forth and conquer those markets, just without the landline masquerade drama!

P.S. Did you encounter this phone line phantom? Share your story in the comments below!

Spread the word: Share this article with your fellow ASX navigators so they can stay informed and navigate the glitch like seasoned pros.
