Blend

Troubleshooting

Windows says "Windows protected your PC"

The beta isn't code-signed. Click More info → Run anyway.

A profile won't start

  • Close any window of the same profile that is still open (check the Task Manager for leftover chrome.exe).
  • Check the launch log via the local API: GET /profiles/{id}/debug.
  • Antivirus software can block the browser engine. Add an exception for %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Blend.

Proxy test fails

  • Check the format: scheme://user:pass@host:port.
  • Many providers require IP whitelisting.
  • SOCKS5 with authentication is supported; SOCKS4 is not.

The website dashboard says it can't reach Blend Cloud

The cloud service is not deployed yet, or is down. The desktop app keeps working offline.

Sync conflicts

If two PCs changed the same field of a profile, Blend merges the other fields and keeps this PC's value for the conflicting field, then shows which fields conflicted in the sync report.

Automation can't connect

Make sure the profile is started, and use the wsEndpoint returned by /profiles/{id}/start. The API listens on 127.0.0.1 only, so scripts must run on the same PC.

Still stuck?

Email support with the output of GET /profiles/{id}/debug.
