Firefox Users can get the extension here.
Hello everyone!
It's been about 5 years since I started hosting the unblocker server and updating the app from time to time when needed.
While the project itself does not require a lot of time anymore (just an occasional restart of the server), it does take *some* time and more importantly resources from my side. The truth is, I haven't been using this extension by myself for quite some time now. Crunchyrolls catalogue in Germany keeps growing and there are only few titles not available. I know this is not true for every country, so YMMV. But ever since moving to Japan I can't access Crunchyroll without a VPN at all, so this way of unlocking titles became unavailable to me.
For this reason I decided to end hosting the unblocker server by the end of the current season (~ end of June 2025).
If you want to keep using the extension after this date,
you need to add your own custom proxy server in the extension configuration.
With the 3.1.0 update this can be either an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy.
I'm sorry for the inconvience this is causing.
This release adds support for HTTP proxies. It also features some UI improvements together with an availability check for the current proxy server. Thanks to MeGaNeKoS for the contribution!
Up unitl now, every time the proxy server had issues users were presented with never ending loading screens on Crunchyroll. This should be handled better now.
This release fixes some bugs and removes the code used for "old crunchyroll".
CR-Unblocker now supports the new Crunchyroll Beta. This means no longer being limited to non logged in usage.
Most issues seem to be errors getting new sessions. I think this is largely related to the reload loop. To improve on this I implemented a timer to only reload once a minute - if the session can not be obtained, it is unlikely to work a few seconds after.
Good news: unblocking while logged in is back!
Some of you have hinted me a way but I could not replicate it for some reason. Thanks for telling me, and sorry for not getting this working sooner :)
This is just a small update, sorry still no solution for logged in users :(
But I removed the unblock servers that do not work anymore, this should make switching faster.
Also, region switching won't happen while logged in. This way you can login/logout depending on the anime you want to watch. Still inconvenient, but better than nothing!
Hi everyone! Maintainer from the Firefox extension here.
Looks like the original creator (who is hosting the unblock server) of this project has no interest in keeping this up. This is why I'm taking over from here on.
He said in his "farewell" message to just torrent anime. Please do not do that. Support the anime you love to watch, even more in these challenging times. I'll add some servers to the unblocker pool to "fix" the current problems of session IDs getting issued. Please keep in mind, my resources are limited. If anyone wants to help running unblock servers get in touch with me.
Greetings from Germany. Stay safe and healthy!!!
