I am new to Replit and one of my friends shared a project with me that he created using Replit Agent. I created a free account and tried to run the project, but when I run it, the console shows:
> [email protected] dev
> tsx server/index.ts
3:58:36 PM [express] serving on port 5000
However, when I go to the webview, it keeps showing "Loading your page" and eventually times out. In the networking section, I can see 0.0.0.0:5000 -> 80
.
My friend is able to run it on his account without any issues (He has paid account). I know that in the free version, it should also work, so what could be causing the problem? The project is using TypeScript and Node.js.
Can someone help me figure out what might be the issue?

Reset to default 0If you're facing the same issue, it might be due to your ISP blocking the *.replit.dev
domain. This is not an issue with Replit itself.
Solution: Change DNS Settings.
For Mac:
1. Open Network Preferences
a. Click the Apple menu > System Settings (or "System Preferences" on older macOS).
b. Select Network from the sidebar.
c. Choose your active connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
d. Click Details… (or "Advanced" in older macOS).
2. Change DNS Servers
a. Go to the DNS tab.
b. Click the "+" button to add a custom DNS server.
c. Enter one of the following:
I. Google DNS → 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
II. Cloudflare DNS → 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1
d. Click OK, then Apply to save changes.
3. Reconnect & Retry
a. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi.
b. Reload the Replit page.
Alternative: Allow the Domain from Router
If your router supports domain whitelisting, you can allow *.replit.dev
from your router settings.
