Hi! I see you're getting an error message saying that cmd.dishboxes.com doesn’t allow VPNs when trying to listen to DISH Anywhere. I can help you with that.

To start, can you tell me if you are currently connected to a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your Windows 10 device while trying to use DISH Anywhere? Sometimes the app blocks VPN connections for security and regional content licensing reasons.

If you do have a VPN turned on, the simplest fix is to disable it temporarily and then try accessing DISH Anywhere again. Here's how you can do that on your Windows device:

1. Click on the Start menu and select Settings (the gear icon).
2. Go to Network & Internet.
3. Click on VPN on the left sidebar.
4. If you see a VPN connection listed that is active, select it and click Disconnect.
5. Close the settings and try using DISH Anywhere again in your WebKit browser.

If you aren’t using a VPN but still see this error, it's possible your network is being routed through a VPN or proxy without realizing it. You can check by visiting a site like whatismyipaddress.com and seeing if the IP location matches your actual location. If it looks like you are connected via VPN or proxy, you might have to disable those or contact your network admin.

Let me know if that helps or what you find, and we can continue troubleshooting from there! Are you currently using any VPN or proxy software right now?
