Version 47 Major Feature Updates - Paciolan Fixes and More.. This Thursday 8AM!

We are super pleased to announce some HUGE updates this Tuesday morning; these updates take care of almost every open feature request and bug request posted on our update log here: http://updates.privatetabs.com.  

LOOK FOR THESE NO LATER THAN THURSDAY 8 AM
We hope to push these out later today (Monday), but in the worst case, you'll see them on Thursday by 8 AM!

VERSION 47 - SCHEDULED UPDATES

  • NEW BAD PROXY WARNING RED ALERT BAR
    Do you mix and match proxy servers and sometimes need clarification if you're in a PT server vs. your own? You now can see a clear red alert bar if you're running a proxy outside of Private Tabs or if you accidentally disabled the proxy profile.

  • NEW FILTERS IN CHROME MODE - "DISABLED ACCOUNT PROFILES"
    Instead of deleting accounts, you can now "disable them" to turn them back on later, just like in classic mode.

  • EASILY UPDATE NAME, EMAILS, PHONE FOR ALL USERS VIA ADMIN
    You no longer have to ask customer service to do this. You can edit your entire team now via team manager.

  • PACIOLAN FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
    We fixed the issue of the identity being blocked. There are still credit card-related issues, but all other blocks have been removed. Look for the credit card blocks to be addressed on July 20th with the release of PrivateCards.net

  • FIX QUEUE ORDER POSITION ON TAB MONITOR
    The q order should no longer jump around in the tab monitor and should be in the correct position.

  • LAUNCH ACCOUNT MANAGER IN NEW WINDOW
    You no longer have to load the same window when you click the account manager to avoid confusion if you have dozens of tabs open.

  • ADD THE ABLITY TO ASSIGN PROFILES TO "SELECT EMPLOYEES" VS THE ENTIRE TEAM
    If you have more than one user, you can choose which employees can access which accounts rather than using tags. This way, you can hide all other accounts from ALL employees and only assign them the ones you want rather than letting them see "everything."

  • ADD A NEW "TICKET PULLER" ROLE IN EMPLOYEE TEAM MANAGER 
    This new role allows you to assign accounts to employees without others seeing them; this is found when you edit profiles.

  • ADD SECONDARY USERS NOW IN CHROME MODE AS WELL AS CLASSIC MODE 
    You now can go to settings in chrome mode and add second users just like you can in classic mode.

  • FIX BROWSER CRASH BY DISABLE SHOWS ON SALE BUG - CHOOSE TO ENABLE OR DISABLE THIS 
    There is a bug in the Shows on Sale system that cashes browsers to crash if two many records are disabled, we no override this bug and prevent the browser from crashing.  You can turn this on and off if you want via settings.

  • SAME ACCOUNT PROFILE - ANTI-BOT IMPROVEMENTS 
    These new features will prevent bot detection doing automatic 2FA with same account profile, you can control the times between the automation as well as the order the automation. For example if you have mutiple tabs open with same user it can control the order that the automatic 2FA triggers vs doing them all at once to avoid anti-bot.

  • MAC BUG - WITH CLOSING WINDOWS NOT REALLY CLOSING WINDOWS
    There is a issue with Macs where if you close the app down it does not really close the app and so if someone else logs in from the same network it will not let them login because the user is still open even tho it looks like the user is not open.

  • ADD TIMER CONTROLS TO THE DECISION MAKER - TAB MONITOR TIMER CONTROLS ARE (COMING SOON)
    You can now see all the current timers in one UI versus jumping around between tabs to view the timers.

  • FIXED AUTO KICK OFF WITH WARNING MESSAGE
    If someone else logs in with your account, you can stop them by choosing "do not allow" them to kick out or close your browser.

  • FIXED AXS ISSUES CAUSING THE SAME SESSION TO APPEAR WHEN LAUNCHING QUEUES
    You can launch multiple AXS queues without it seeing your identity between profiles

  • AVOID PRESS AND HOLD WITH DISABLING AUTO LOGIN
    You can avoid press-and-hold errors by disabling auto-login features. We have a fix in the next week or two that will allow auto-login to work without disabling it, but in the meantime, this can avoid press-and-hold errors.

  • REMEMBER LAST FILTER SETTINGS YOU HAD SET WHEN YOU CLOSED PT
    When you launch private tabs it will now load the last filters you had set in the account view.

  • NEW SETTINGS IN THE "SETTINGS" IN CHROME FOR SYNCING WITH MOBILE APPS AND AUTOMATION TRIGGERS
    You can enable and disable settings such as automatic 2FA, Email 2FA, and more.

  • FIX AUTOMATIC LOG-OFF / CRASHES ON USERS WITH OVER 100 ACCOUNT PROFILES ON PC
    Some multi-user teams have experienced random crashes on the PC version due to some issues with select extensions installed, so we are revamping our extension system and only allowing select extensions to be installed. We are fixing several things that caused this problem on the PC.  You likely have not noticed any issues if you're running a Mac. As a temporary fix, you can clear your app data by going to Windows, running  %%appdata%%, and deleting the two private tabs directories, and reloading.

  • NEW CENTRALIZED EMAIL BOX TO MATCH CENTRALIZED SMS INBOX
    You can now access both email and text via a centralized inbox

  • NEW SETTINGS API KEYS FOR UPDATING ACCOUNTS VIA API
    Notice new API settings and keys for updating accounts via API

  • MARKET PLACE / URL LEVEL SETTINGS BASED ON WEBSITES (AKA TM, AXS, NIKE EXT.)
    In settings there are now site level control / settings so you can customize settings based on actual websites. For example if you want to automatically fix the URLs from ASX when Queues are running you can tunese ant-bot URLs on and off vis having them on all the time.  Or have site level settings for Ticket Master so you can turn on and off select site level settings to "tweak" your experience based on the actual website your visiting.

WHY OUR UPGRADES HAVE BEEN DELAYED BY TWO WEEKS
We wanted to take a moment and thank you all for your patience over these past few weeks while we worked through a few issues that have caused delays in our normal weekly update schedule. As many of you know, our primary development team is located in Ukraine. A recent war-driven event there has impacted our development team, causing us to fall behind in our weekly updates.

    Some of you have reported problems with AXS queues and waiting rooms not properly separating your identity during on sale events.  This problem has been fixed and scheduled for release next week.

  2. DECISION MAKER BUG FIXES - CHROME SUPPORT
    Currently decision maker only works in classic mode and it does not work for all shopping carts. So we are fixing that bug and making sure it works for all browsers.

  3. PROVIDING PUBLIC API FOR ACCOUNTS & ZAPIER SUPPORT 
    We are going to be providing a public API for anyone who wishes to use it which will low ou to create and manage accounts automatically via APIs and any standard Zapier webhooks or REST api calls.

  4. AIR TABLE ACCOUNT SYNC, PLUS PRIVATE CARDS APP SYNC
    Do you keep accounts updated in air table then sync those accounts with Private Tabs.  Well we can save you some steps because you'll be able to automatically both AirTable and others

You're Unblocked & Back Online - Let's Go!

If you had trouble logging into Private Tabs this afternoon (May 30th), you're back in business and 100% unblocked!  This includes Chrome Engine and Classic Engine Browsers!

WHAT HAPPENED 
If you followed our earlier post today, we mentioned that the TM website is routing some folks to dead servers in its network, making it appear that they are misconfigured or a proxy. This causes sessions to lock and time out, which creates endless spinners, and our classic mode is not even loading because it can't do its login health check. 

How rude, so we fixed it for them since they were busy with Allegedly getting hacked and losing half a billion accounts.  

HOW WE FIXED IT 
If a website load balancer tries to route you to a dead server, that's not good, so if that ever happens, fear not. Private Tabs will take over and reroute your web requests to a suitable server so you don't experience any outage. Come on... it's crazy to have a website for a company that does not load, right? So, of course, we fixed it for you yet again, TM!  Because you would not want your website to not load for your customers, would you?  These people are sure lucky we're fixing all their constant timeouts and endless spinners. 

SERIOUSLY WE GOT YOUR BACK!
We're sorry we couldn't move faster. We did fix it in about 7 hours today for our customers! 

This is just another reason to tell your friends about Private Tabs. We are dedicated to making sure you all keep working and making money! We get it; we're a little more expensive than other "browsers." But hopefully, you'll appreciate that we are on top of things, ensuring you're not blocked. At the end of the day, there are no Private Tabs without you!  

Thank you all for your support!

The Private Tabs Team!
support@privatetabs.com 

PS:  Get ready for PrivateCards.net...  Paciolan, we're coming for ya and those crazy order cancelations you love to do!

May 30th - Ticket Master Is Installing New Hardware Causing Pages to Not Load

Good Afternoon,

We are sending all Private Tabs customers a quick update to explain that some of you might be seeing this page (below) when visiting TicketMaster.com and why this is happening.

This is not Private Tabs - But there are tricks to avoid it today! 


USE CHROME ENGINE FOR NOW - UNDERSTANDING THIS ISSUE
Ticket Master is upgrading their network this week (Starting May 30th) and installing many new servers and hardware.  We believe this is part of TicketMaster's planned upgrade for the first two weeks of June.   When that error happens, it more than likely means that someone within a company's IT staff has mis-configured their internal load balancer, routing traffic to servers that are turned off.  So, every time you visit the website in question, it sends you to a server that is turned off. 

This has nothing to do with private tabs, as the issue relates to how their load balancer routes connections inside their network.   We suspect that within the next few hours, this will resolve itself as their internal teams discover it.

 

We can confirm this because we are able to see a significant number of their servers are now offline, and a new set of recently installed servers are now online.  So this appears as if they are doing general maintenance and swapping hardware but did not configure the load balancer to ignore the hardware that is offline.  

 

WHY THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE HAPPENING WITH CHROME
Some of you might try to revert to Chrome and notice that it does not happen as much or not happen at all.  This is because load balancer prioritize Chrome over other browser types in many cases. This is also why we recommend you use the Chrome engine today vs the classic, as it can help avoid this issue.   The other reason that it may seem to happen more on multi-session browsers like Private Tabs or others is that these browsers often also have other anti-blocking features that will reset various threads or sessions; when that happens, it trips the load balancer to reset again.  So that means that it tends always to reset or recheck itself when using multi session browsers where a normal browser like Chrome does not do this (but it also blocks you then).  Fear not we are aware of this and are working on a plan to reduce this from happening.   

 

If you do see this happen after today please contact us as we fully expect this to stop happening by tomorrow morning. 


OUR ADVICE DURING THIS TIME
The first bit of advice is to use chrome mode, not classic. This is because most load balancer will prioritize chrome traffic over non-chrome traffic. This means that their is a higher chance of keeping your session active in chrome because they will always route to server that is "online" first, vs if you was not using chrome (firefox / classic / ext.) would get routed second.

So, taking this approach might help you ensure you don't get routed to a bad server. But even if you get a good server, the session will only last 15 minutes on average before their load balancer attempts to move you again. So, if you are in Chrome, just refresh until you get a good session, and then once you do, get your stuff done within 15 minutes.

The second tip we can give you is while loading a different profile, this will establish a different fingerprint session as well and force their load balancer to refresh and route you again.  So, by loading another profile, you can force the whole process to start over if, for some reason, you keep pushing refresh and they don't route you to a good server. That is because the routing is based on your fingerprint using a new fingerprint that will often force them to re-route you again, and then when that happens, there is a good chance your session can be established.   The key is you want your session to be established so it keeps you the good server and does not route you to the bad one.

WHAT NEXT
Please know that we are monitoring this and doing everything in our power to help you. More than likely, this will resolve itself within the next few hours once their engineers discover this problem and fix it. We will also be checking things on our side to see if there is anything we can do to manually route to good servers to avoid this from happening in the future. Also, be aware this is only happening with TicketMaster.com as they are in the middle of a huge upgrade to their system, so don't be surprised if random issues happen in the next week or two with TicketMaster because they are switching out their work as we send out this email.

Thank you for your continued support of Private Tabs!

Custom Domain Setup for 2FA Not Allowed if You Bought Your Domain From Google or Square Space

Are you facing difficulties adding your domain to Private Tabs? This common issue can arise, especially for users integrating with platforms like Square. In this guide, we'll address the challenges you might encounter and provide step-by-step instructions on how to remove domains from Square to ensure seamless integration with Private Tabs.

Private Tabs offer enhanced privacy and security for browsing the web, but integrating them with certain platforms can sometimes lead to complications. Square, a widely-used e-commerce platform, utilizes Mailgun for email services. This integration can occasionally cause conflicts when configuring domains for Private Tabs.

Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Domains from Square:

1. Log in to Your Square Account:

Access your Square account using your login credentials. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you manage your settings and configurations.

2. Locate Domain Settings:

In your Square dashboard, find the section dedicated to domain settings. This might be located under "Settings" or "Account Settings," depending on the version of Square you're using.

3. Identify Domains Associated with Mailgun:

Within the domain settings, you'll see a list of domains associated with your Square account. Look for the domain that you're trying to remove or troubleshoot. Take note of any domains linked with Mailgun, as these are the ones potentially causing conflicts with Private Tabs.

4. Remove the Domain:

Select the domain you wish to remove from your Square account. Look for an option to remove or disconnect the domain. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the removal process.

5. Verify Removal:

After removing the domain, it's crucial to verify that the action was successful. Double-check your domain settings to ensure that the removed domain is no longer listed.

Troubleshooting Tips:

If you encounter any issues during the removal process or if the domain continues to cause problems with Private Tabs, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

  • Clear Cache and Cookies: Browser cache and cookies can sometimes interfere with domain configurations. Clearing them might help resolve any lingering issues.
  • Contact Support: If you're unable to remove the domain or if the problem persists, reach out to Square's support team for assistance. They can provide personalized guidance and troubleshooting steps.

HOW TO CREATE A GMAIL FILTER AND FORWARD FILTERED EMAILS TO PRIVATE TABS DROPBOX?


Email forwarding is a handy tool in the arsenal of any email user. It allows you to effortlessly redirect emails from one account to another, streamlining your communication process. However, when it comes to Gmail email forwarding, particularly in handling two-factor authentication (2FA) codes sent via email, there are some nuances worth exploring. In this article, we'll check two common scenarios of Gmail forwarding and how they impact the handling of 2FA codes.

Scenario 1: Direct Forwarding from Individual Gmail Accounts to Private Tabs

In this setup, each Gmail account is configured to forward emails directly to a corresponding account profile in Private Tabs. This method ensures that emails are neatly organized within the smart toolbar of their respective account profiles in PT.

This approach is straightforward and efficient, especially for users who manage a manageable number of Gmail accounts. By setting up direct forwarding, users can easily keep track of their emails without the need for additional configurations.

Scenario 2: Consolidating Emails through a "Catch-All" Gmail Account

In this scenario, multiple email accounts forward their emails to a central "catch-all" Gmail account. Subsequently, the catch-all account is configured to forward these emails to PT. While this setup offers centralization benefits, it raises questions regarding how PT handles forwarded emails and 2FA codes.

  1. Determining the PT Account Profile: PT determines the account profile to display the forwarded email based on the recipient address. Even when emails are forwarded from a catch-all account, PT matches them to the corresponding account profile based on the original recipient address.
  2. Need for Corresponding Account Profiles: Yes, PT requires a corresponding account profile for each email account that forwards emails to the catch-all Gmail account. This ensures that forwarded emails are displayed within the appropriate account profiles in PT.

Handling 2FA Codes and Customized Forwarding

When it comes to handling 2FA codes and customized forwarding, Gmail provides robust options. Many users already have default forwarding setups, which may conflict with PT's requirements. To address this, users can create filters based on specific keywords to forward relevant emails accurately.

For instance, emails containing the keyword "authorization" can be forwarded to Ticket Master, while those with "verification" can be forwarded to AXS. By creating tailored filters, users can ensure that 2FA codes and other critical emails are forwarded to the appropriate destinations seamlessly.

Creating Custom Filters for Efficient Forwarding

To streamline the process of setting up customized forwarding, users can follow these steps:

  1. Identify Keywords: Determine specific keywords associated with 2FA emails from different platforms (e.g., "authorization" for Ticket Master, "verification" for AXS).
  2. Create Filters: Utilize Gmail's filter feature to create rules based on these keywords. For example, "Any email containing 'authorization' should be forwarded to Ticket Master."
  3. Test and Refine: Experiment with different keywords and filter configurations to ensure accurate forwarding. Users can test the filters by sending test emails and verifying their routing in PT.

A. Get the Private Tabs Dropbox Email

1. Log in to Private Tabs Classic.

2. Click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner.


3. Select "My Account"


4. In the left-hand menu, click on "Email Config Global" > "Gmail Forwarding"

5. In the right pane, you'll see the Private Tabs Dropbox email address in step number 3. Note this email address for use in the following steps.

B. Create the Gmail Filter


1. Log in to your Gmail account.


2. Click on the gear-like iconin the top right corner.

3. Select "See all settings"

4. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.Click on "Create a new filter"

There are multiple ways to create a filter depending on what you want to forward to Private Tabs:

1. Filter by FROM email addresses.

2. Filter by SUBJECT LINE keywords.

3. Filter by EMAIL BODY keywords.


EXAMPLE 1: Creating a Gmail Filter to Forward Ticketmaster 2FA Emails to Private Tabs. Ticketmaster 2FA emails contain the word "authentication" in the subject line. To create the filter:

We're Experiencing Delays Setting Up New Account Imports

We wanted to let everyone know we're behind by a few days.
Our team always tries to take ownership when dropping the ball, and this past week, we had a huge uptick in new customers who needed accounts imported, and we needed to catch up. It usually only takes a day to import all your accounts, but in many cases, we are going on several days now because of a large uptick in sign-ups last week.  Rest assured, we are almost done importing new accounts; if your new setup is delayed because of this, please forgive us and know we appreciate your business.  The issue we are having is many new customers have signed up teams of 5 or more, which have to be manually set up as they are discounted.  This manual process slows us down by several days; this is what's going on with new sign-ups and why it's taking us a bit longer than normal to import your accounts.  

We plan to be 100% caught up with everyone TODAY!
Thank you again for your patience; Private Tabs has been killing the Qs and gaining raving fans who have helped us create a great product.  As we scale up, do not worry. We plan to keep our customer service growing just as fast as the features of our software!!

We Believe Customer Service is Just as Important As The Software! 
Our team wanted to make sure current customers didn't worry that their level of support would drop with the increase in demand. Instead, we are scaling up and plan to provide even more customer service features in the future, such as weekly live webinars, one-on-one personal training, more customer service folks, and more technical training for our entire staff. If you want to give us a call, hit us up at 414-326-4100.

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.
  • To make changes to your security settings, click the lock icon and enter your administrator password when prompted.

That's it!

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