Share via link in a loop

Hello, share via link does not open, it works in a loop. I am using v1.4.0.


Any idea whats wrong ?

I would like to invite you to share the specs of your machine and the Internet connection.

  • In which region?
  • Which ISP?
  • Specs of the machine?
  • Any proxies? VPNs? Firewalls?

Troubleshooting Guide for ZimaOS “Share via Link” Feature

If you’re unable to use the “Share via Link” feature in ZimaOS, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

  1. Check Your Internet Connection

    • Make sure your device is connected to the internet. Since “Share via Link” likely uses peer-to-peer technology, a stable connection is required.
    • If you’re on a restricted network (e.g., at work or school), firewalls or network settings might block peer-to-peer connections. Try switching to a different network if possible.
  2. Verify Browser Compatibility

    • Ensure you’re using a browser that supports this feature. Recommended browsers include:
      • Google Chrome
      • Mozilla Firefox
    • If you’re using a different browser, switch to one of these and test again.
  3. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies

    • Cached data or cookies might interfere with the feature. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then try using the link again.
  4. Check Antivirus or Security Software

    • Security software in the router might block peer-to-peer connections or web features. Temporarily disable your antivirus and test the link.
    • If this resolves the issue, adjust your security settings to allow ZimaOS or WebTorrent connections.
  5. Look for ISP Policy

    • The Internet connection in some regions is prevented from P2P protocols. Contact your ISP or ask users in your region to eliminate this possible issue.

Additional Tips

  • Test on Another Device or Network

    • If possible, try creating/using the link on a different device or network to see if the issue is specific to your current setup.
  • Generate a New Link

    • If you’re sharing the content, create a new share link and test if it works.

Look forward to your feedback.

Thank you, the browser was the problem. It did not work with my Firefox. I tried with LibreWolf, which is a Firefox fork and it worked.
