ChatGPT: Route Error (500 ): "The operation is insecure."

Hello everyone, and thank you for your help!

Today, I got a problem with ChatGPT when I tried to log into my account, but I received the following error: Route Error (500): ‘The operation is insecure.’

Before this, I had been using ChatGPT through Tor Browser for a long time without any issues, but today I had to restart my laptop, which reset everything in Tor Browser, and I had to log in again, but I couldn’t due to this error. I also tried using an extension in Google Chrome that redirects traffic from Tor, but I received the same error.

Security protocol: standard. I also tried changing bridges. I have never altered any other settings.

I was able to reproduce your issue by trying to use ChatGPT through Tor, I immediately got the same error.

An alternative would be to use duck.ai. Which is a ‘private’ interface from DuckDuckGo to ChatGPT. Works perfectly on Tor.

Some side notes regarding OpSec: Be very, very cautious when using ChatGPT. This is a huge OpSec issue!

  • ChatGPT logs all prompts (also through alternatives like duck.ai).
  • If you were logged in to ChatGPT, of course your already deanonymised.
  • When you ask ChatGPT “hey I have a problem with this config.file for xxx, where is the error”, and you paste the contents of your config file accidentally containing identifiable information :right_arrow: deanonymised.
  • Asking for support with coding with your onion service website :right_arrow: State actors could suddenly match the content of your code with the prompt.
  • Letting ChatGPT rewrite a mail and sending it :right_arrow: Your mail could be linked to your prompts.
