Is this happening consistently, every time? Can you try opening https://i.instagram.com on your browser and see if it loads Instagram?

I have no problem opening instagram on my google chrome browser, ig:dm used to work until July 2018 and it just started showing this error. never able to log in anymore since then. also tried on another computer with different wifi, changed ip with vpn, just doesnt work. shows the same error each time i tried to log in.

this issue is usually related to the user's internet connection, or proxy/vpn issues. This is why it is often closed. Because it can't be fixed on this end. The error simply means that for some reason, you are not able to access the URL https://i.instagram.com

i can't reproduce this issue on my end if this is related to proxy. @jakesterjung if we provide you with code on a github branch, are you able to compile and run the code?

ghost commented 4 years ago

@ifedapoolarewaju if it's just proxy, we might be able to get around with it calling Client.Request.setProxy() on instagram.js .
