Haven't been logged out across three devices I use. I'll include my info below in case it helps:


Pixel 6 Pro; Android 14; Chrome 126.0.6478.110

This phone is using a free adblocking VPN (not the Google Fi/One VPN)


Windows 11 Desktop, Google Chrome 125.0.6422.176

No VPN, but using uBlock Origin + disconnect.me extensions


Windows 11 Laptop, Google Chrome 126.0.6478.114 

No VPN, but using uBlock Origin


All of these devices have remained signed in since at least a month or two ago. Figured I'd toss my setups here since I have a few of them & haven't had any issues.

Get Logged Out?

It appears a bunch of people have gotten logged out of their accounts. At first we thought the common thread was Chrome for Android, then just Chrome in general but now we have a report from Pingu who was using Firefox.

If you’ve recently been logged out of NG unexpectedly, please reply to this post letting us know that it happened. Include what day it happened, your operating system, browser and browser version if possible. Do you recall what you were doing on NG when it happened? Also let us know if you get logged out more than once and/or if you’ve been logged out from other sites as well.

We're especially curious to hear if anyone experienced this as early as June 12th (or earlier).

NordVPN Update

On June 10th I made a post about how NordVPN is breaking NG.

Lots of people have been emailing support to say the site is completely broken and all of them have been able to fix it by turning off NordVPN’s web protection, which is blocking our javascript at https://js.ngfiles.com/ng_publish.js.

I’ve been going back and forth with NordVPN and they say they don’t see it blocking anything on their end and they need a screenshot of the error message from a user where it’s being blocked. I’ve been asking people for screenshots but so far no one has sent me one, I don’t think it’s obvious where to find the specific error message, as most people are simply turning off Web Protection and getting on with their day.

If you’re using NordVPN and have experienced NG being broken, if you can find a specific screen that says what is being blocked, please post the screenshot here or email it to tom AT newgrounds.com. This problem is at a standstill until a screenshot is produced.

In the meantime, @YendorNG has recommended Proton VPN.

General Reminder

I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone that NG is an independent website with no outside shareholders or private equity groups waiting to cash in.

We don’t build secret consumer profiles about you and we don’t sell or share your information. We aren’t partnering with AI companies to train on your data.

Newgrounds is nearly ad-free and our goal is to be fully funded by Supporters, with zero ads. To be frank, our only remaining ads are on adult movies and games and I hate having to explain that to people. You would be doing me a huge personal favor if I could just tell people “we’re funded by Supporters!” I’d also like to stop telling people we operate at a loss and would love to tell people we distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to artists each month but baby steps.

Read up on the NG history if you’d like to know more.

lol I tell everyone I know that Newgrounds is the antithesis of the evil of modern web, and how google did its best to try and kill it when they bought youtube by not allowing them to run their ads. Everyone who cares about the survival of anything good on the internet is doing themselves a favor by supporting NG or sharing the site with their friends. Tom is one of the only good guys left who isn't possessed by greed and monetization. He's to art sites what Gaben is to steam, only much less rich XD

Read this post yesterday & thought I was unaffected. Then this morning, I was logged out on my phone. Was still logged in on my desktop though.


I use Chrome on my phone (Android) & Firefox on desktop.

Got logged out again. This time it was around 3 PM today, when I clicked on my private messages, I was immediately logged out. The OS was Windows 11 and I was using 127.0.1 (64-bit) of Firefox.

Phone: Android, Google Chrome, Approx. around June 14-17th (I had only just opened to check my notifs)


Desktop: Windows 10 PC, Firefox, Just today at like 6:34pm, (I had just came onto the site, So didn't do much to get logged out.)

So I got logged out, I don't know when it happened as a few days ago when I decided to check out Newgrounds and I was logged out. Now with it being an old account form about a decade ago I no longer have the email and so had to create a new account.


The OS I'm using is Windows 10 and the browser I use is OperaGX, I don't know which version sorry. I haven't been logged out of any other website as far as I know.


I personally don't really care about my old account as all I posted there was some art that I have backed up on my computer, I just thought I'd let you know that it happened since I wasn't using Chrome or Firefox.


My original account's user is thefunkinmaster, I got logged out just today, and I currently use newgrounds on a Samsung phone (not sure if it's different to android), I was not able to find the email I used for it as I have quite a few for security measures.


On that note does anyone know how to find the email of an account of which you have no access to?

I use Firefox. Was logged in yesterday. Was logged out when I checked today during the evening.

Response to Get Logged Out? + NordVPN Update 2024-06-21 21:36:31


Not only did I get logged out of my NSFW account, but it changed the email account associated with that account. I had to set up a new one, and I don't even use any VPN services, so I have no idea what the hell happened.

Hello, I got logged out today on my phone. It happened around 13 minutes ago I'd say? (00:05 eastern time 2024-06-22). I usually have NG open on my phone to the latest project I am involved with, so in this case it was an animation, and I think (not 100% sure) I checked this morning and I was logged in. So all I did was go into chrome, refresh (because it often is just a suspended tab of what I was doing before), and it showed I was logged out.


This happened on Chrome for Android, version 126.0.6478.110. Operating system is Android 13. I hope this helps!


I am a multimedia developer who makes music, programs, games, art, and more. Currently working on my operating system simulator ME-OS!

I haven't experienced any weird bugs on Waterfox, so I'm in the clear! Yet, if there's any weird bugs or anything, I'll update this reply accordingly. I love me some bug mashing.


Always believe in yourself, and be yourself. Except for that one Noob named “Larry”. We don't talk about him after what happened in the spaghetti dinner incident of 1987.

However, on desktop (Win10) on Chrome I didn’t get logged out BUT on the same desktop my alt (Sssh! No bans plz!) did get logged out on Firefox. On my phone now, so I don’t know the versions of the desktop browsers, but I’d imagine they’re both the latest as browsers auto update these days.

EDIT: Both log outs happened a few hours ago. Was very lucky that this account wasn’t logged out on desktop, no longer had access to the email for 2FA!


Happened again, just now, but this time on Chrome 126.0.6478.63 (Official Build) (64-bit), on Win10. Alt account is still logged in on Firefox on same machine, and this account was still logged in on iPhone.
