Signs of a Network Security or Firewall Issue

  • Unable to successfully sign into Cargo, but can successfully sign into KitBash3D.com

  • The sign-in button in Cargo is grayed out and appears to be unresponsive or frozen

Since most Windows OS devices come with Defender, please check the permissions settings in Defender if you're experiencing an unresponsive Cargo sign in screen.

Navigate to Windows Defender Firewall settings in the Control Panel or by searching in the Windows search bar

  • Click on "Advanced settings" in the left-hand menu

  • Check whether Outbound connections are currently allowed for the type of network you're currently on (Private or Guest/Public)

  • If needed, change that setting by clicking on Windows Defender Firewall Properties and changing "Block" to "Allow (default)" for Outbound connections, then click Apply
