Hello! I see Emochi only works for you when you’re connected through a VPN, and without it, there’s no sign of it working. That’s interesting—let’s figure out what might be causing this.

First, could you tell me a bit more? For example:
- Are you trying to access Emochi from home, work, or another network?
- When you connect without the VPN, do you get any error messages, or does the app just not respond?
- Have you checked if your internet connection works fine without VPN for other apps or sites?

Meanwhile, here are some initial steps we can try:

1. Check Network Restrictions: Sometimes certain networks block access to specific apps or servers. Your network might be restricting Emochi unless routed through a VPN. If this is a work or school network, they might have some firewall rules.

2. Test on Another Network: Try accessing Emochi without VPN on a different Wi-Fi or mobile network (e.g., your phone’s cellular data). If it works elsewhere, that confirms a network-specific block.

3. Clear App Data & Cache: On your Android device, go to Settings > Apps > Emochi > Storage > Clear Cache and Clear Data. Then restart the app and see if it connects without VPN.

4. Check DNS Settings: Sometimes DNS servers used by your network block certain domains. You might try setting your Android network to use public DNS servers like Google’s (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare’s (1.1.1.1).

5. Restart Your Device and Router: Often a simple reboot can resolve temporary network glitches.

If after these steps Emochi still only works with VPN, it might be a regional or ISP-level restriction. In that case, VPN is acting as a workaround by routing your traffic differently.

Let me know what you observe from these steps and any extra details about your network. I’m here to help you get Emochi working smoothly without always needing a VPN!
