Are you seeing a geo-restriction error when trying to log in? Here's what to do.

This error usually shows when the system detects that Perlego has been used in two different countries at the same time.


Common Causes of Geo-Restriction Errors

  • Simultaneous usage from different countries: If your account is accessed from two different countries at the same time, it may trigger a geo-restriction error.

  • VPN usage: Using a VPN can cause Perlego to detect conflicting locations, leading to access issues.


Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide

  1. Log out of Perlego on all devices: Ensure you are logged out of your account on every device where it is currently active.

  2. Disable any VPN: Turn off any VPN services you are using to avoid location conflicts.

  3. Wait for the system to reset: Allow the system some time to reset. This process typically takes a few minutes but may take up to two hours in some cases.

  4. Log back into your account: Once the reset period has passed, log back into your Perlego account.


Additional Troubleshooting Steps

If you're still having issues....

  • Clear your browser cache and cookies.

  • Use an incognito or private browsing window.

  • Disable any browser extensions.

  • Try accessing Perlego using a different browser.

  • Restart your device.

  • Ensure your operating system and browser are up to date.
