Hey! I was curious whether the Vault of Magics still works, so I went on Kongregate and found myself with this beautiful error message:
Quote:Error: It looks like you're using PR2 from a third-party website. For security reasons, you may only log in from an approved site such as pr2hub.com.

I come online here every 4-5 months or so. But hey. JV is still alive!

This is a browser issue, but I think I found a workaround. Try now!

-- TECHNICAL DETAILS BELOW --
you've been warned
So, this was also a problem for JV. It's a problem with how certain browsers (aHEM safari) prevent user tracking (a newfangled fanciness called Intelligent Tracking Protection)-- they only send the base domain as the referrer, as opposed to the entire page URL (despite all directives set on the page). There's a good writeup about it
here (under the section with
document.referrer).
Well, what does this mean? English, please.
I was able to get around this by setting up a subdomain on JV2 specifically dedicated to serving PR2 (aptly named
https://pr2.jiggmin2.com). Safari users will be automatically redirected to this link from the normal one at
https://jiggmin2.com/games/platform-racing-2, but anyone can use it if they so desire.
As of right now, I only have Safari set up to automatically redirect. If you're having this problem on other browsers (or as browser security gets tighter), I'll add automatic redirection for those too.
