  4. - If there is an error in the console:
         Ex: "Failed to connect to private server". There should be a URL related to that error. Copy the URL, paste into a new tab, and see if you are able to access the URL from the error. Please record your results. Move onto step 5.
    - If there is no error in the console:
        Please record any behavior that you see, and open a ticket at:
        https://support.conceal.io/hc/en-us/requests/new
  5.  If you are getting a message saying something along the lines of "This site has been blocked due to a security threat", please check other integrations, plugins, or policies that you may have in place that could be blocking the URL.
    Ex: If you have Cisco Umbrella integrated, sometimes Cisco will block a domain or URL. Go into whatever instances you are using and check the policies, whitelists, and blocklists. Make sure that URL or any subdomains for cirrusarmor.com are whitelisted/not blocked.
  6. Test going to your site again, if you are still getting an error, please screenshot this error and open a support ticket at https://support.conceal.io/hc/en-us/requests/new. Please include any recorded information during troubleshooting, and include any screenshots in the attachments field.
