This app can be restricted on different networks for different reasons. Most blocks fall into one of these common patterns.
Schools and workplaces filter traffic at the router, and grammarly.com sometimes gets caught in a broad content filter.
Some schools block Grammarly for data-privacy compliance (FERPA, CIPA, MOSPA)—that's policy, not a glitch, and a VPN won't fix it.
Grammarly exited Russia and Belarus in 2022 over the war in Ukraine; Russia's censor then blocked the page—a rare exception.
Switch to a different VPN Super server location. A different IP address often clears the flag—use Fastest Location or pick a specific server and check its "NNN ms" latency.
Check your antivirus, firewall, and proxy settings. Grammarly's own support guidance names these as the most common cause of network-configuration errors, VPN or no VPN.
Confirm the block isn't a compliance decision. If your school or workplace hasn't signed a student- or employee-data agreement with Grammarly, no server switch restores access—only your network administrator can lift that policy.
No fluff, just the specifics that matter when a network is trying to block your access.
Live on Windows and Mac—DNS lookups and IPv6 traffic stay in the tunnel. Not available on iOS or Android.
On iOS and Android, Super and V2Ray protocols cut through strict filters that block standard VPN traffic.
iOS/Windows Premium: 64 countries, 104 locations. Android Premium: 58 and 78. Free tier: iOS/Android only.
Run Grammarly's desktop app, extension, and keyboard together—one subscription covers up to 10 devices.
iOS and Android run Super, IKEv2, OpenVPN, or V2Ray for Grammarly's keyboard and mobile app. Windows uses OpenVPN or WireGuard, and Mac (beta, English only) runs WireGuard for Grammarly's desktop app.
Android also supports app-based split tunneling, so you can route only the app using Grammarly through VPN Super while everything else stays on your normal connection.

No. That answer doesn't change just because VPN Super genuinely helps with the network problem sitting right next to it. A VPN only reaches past a technical block—a firewall rule that keeps grammarly.com from loading on school Wi-Fi. It cannot, and should not, be used to get around a conduct policy—a school rule against using Grammarly, or its AI-assisted rewriting features, on an assignment. Grammarly itself says schools can turn generative-AI features on or off for Grammarly for Education, and its own guidance points students back to their school's academic-integrity policy, not around it. If your school's policy says don't use Grammarly, or its AI tools, for an assignment, VPN Super doesn't change that. Check the policy, not just whether the site loads.
Most of the time it's a network-level firewall, antivirus, or proxy setting—Grammarly's own support team names these as the usual cause. Some schools also block Grammarly for data-privacy compliance reasons, such as no signed student-data agreement under FERPA, CIPA, or a state consortium like MOSPA. That's an IT and legal decision, and a VPN may not restore access if that's the real barrier.
Rarely. The clearest case is Russia: Grammarly pulled its service from Russia and Belarus in March 2022 over the invasion of Ukraine, and Russia's censor blocked the resulting statement page soon after, making Grammarly effectively inaccessible there. That's the exception. Most Grammarly access problems trace back to school or workplace networks.
Every VPN Super subscription covers up to 10 devices, enough for the desktop app, browser extension, and mobile keyboard writers typically run side by side. Premium unlocks up to 64 countries and 104 locations on iOS, Windows, and Mac, or 58 and 78 on Android—more than the free tier's 20/42 (iOS) and 15/26 (Android). If you're a student on a budget, the free tier on iOS and Android, plus the student discount, cuts the cost without dropping you to a single device.
It can. Grammarly's own security systems sometimes flag a VPN's IP address as suspicious, and some VPN or firewall setups block the WebSocket ports Grammarly needs, producing errors like "Hm, something went wrong." If that happens, try a different VPN Super server location first—use Fastest Location or check a server's latency in the list. If it persists, check your antivirus, firewall, and proxy settings, which is what Grammarly's own support guidance recommends.
Using a VPN is legal in most countries. Laws vary by location, so check what applies where you are before connecting.
Some slowdown is normal with any VPN, since encryption and routing add a step. Use Fastest Location to auto-pick the lowest-latency server, or check the "NNN ms" value next to any server in the list and pick a faster one yourself.
You can, but free VPNs often come with data caps, ads, and business models built around your data. VPN Super's free tier (iOS and Android only) keeps the no-activity-logs policy without the ads. Premium adds more server locations on iOS and Android, and it's the only tier available on Windows and Mac.
