This type of link is not supported. Solution

Why else might the link not open?

If the link leads to a third-party site, it may appear that it is not working. Maybe it's temporary, maybe it's forever. After all, every site is located on some server, the site has some kind of owners. It may well be that something happened to them.

In addition, if a site is blocked in a country, this can manifest itself in different ways: not only as a message from the provider “Access is restricted,” but also as an error when opening a link - for example, ERR_CONNECTION_RESET “Connection reset.”

Block from the social network

Why do some links not open from VKontakte, but work fine in the browser? The social network deliberately blocks some sites, recognizing them as malicious. By the way, in this case you will see a corresponding message.

What resources can be classified as malicious?

1. Sites and groups that have received many complaints from social network users about deception and unacceptable actions;
2. Requirement of Roskomnadzor (the law is the law);
3. Prohibited or unacceptable content (contrary to the law or moral standards): sites marked 18+, promoting extremism, child pornography, containing shock content, advertising psychotropic or narcotic substances, etc.;
4. The link leads to a service for cheating, dishonest promotion, making money on social networks, etc.;
5. The resource has a lot of spam, pop-up banners, advertising, active dies, etc.

Error "Links of this type are not supported" in Kate Mobile

Most often, this error occurs after you have selected Always open such links on your phone in Kate Mobile, but in it exactly such links do not open. You need to reset Kate Mobile to its default settings so that the link causing the error will open in the browser again. In the settings of the phone itself, in the Applications section, find Kate Mobile and perform the Reset actions to default action or similar.

Some types of links do not work in Kate Mobile. For example, links to VK mini-applications or notifications are not supported. They work in the official VK mobile application, in the full version or in the mobile version of the site (via a browser).

Also, Kate Mobile may not open links to audio recordings and video files. It is recommended to use the official VK application or open the link in the browser on your phone. You may need to install an application to open the desired file type (see above).

If you want to contact VK support agents using a link, it will not open in Kate Mobile. Do this in the browser or look at other ways to create a support request here: How to contact VKontakte support.

If the link should still work in Kate Mobile, but does not, here are the solutions:

• Enable the Use built-in browser option in Kate Mobile's settings - this will help open some links.
• Remove Kate Mobile from your phone completely and install it again.
• See the tips above in the section “Reason 2: The link is not being processed correctly.”

A link to another site or document does not open

If you get a 404 “Page not found” error, then you can be fairly confident that the link is invalid. There may have been something on this link before, but not anymore. For example, if you first posted it and then decided to delete it. You can search for the link in Google or Yandex, and if the content was saved in their cache, then look there (the “Saved copy” function).

One exception is that if your browser on your phone incorrectly perceives a long link in VK that ends with an ellipsis, then in this case it may also display a 404 error, although the link is actually working. The solution is to use a different browser.

Why, if the application worked, but I deleted it, now it won’t install?

Because you had the old version running and running. And the Play Store always contains only the latest version. The version you had is no longer there! Well, the new version that exists does not work on the version of Android that you have. She needs a newer operating system (in other words, a newer phone). Therefore, install the old version of VK manually, as we described above, or use one of the other methods to solve the problem, which we also listed. And you can also access VK from your phone without an application, more on that below.

I post the link in the VKontakte group. He understands it, inserts text and photos. The domain is Russian-language. When you click on the link, it redirects to VKontakte news, everything works in the mobile version, and it also works in the application. I can't figure out what the problem is. Please tell me!

A few days ago everything worked, but now it doesn't. wrote to support

Previously, VKontakte didn’t understand domains like ***.online, now it recognizes them in the text and immediately inserts a link, but only if it’s to the root, at least for me

The last post showed that people need solutions to get rid of unnecessary inconvenient advertising in applications and simply on websites.

Computer problems

In conclusion, let’s look at why the link in VK is not active only on the computer:

• Browser problem. Why don't you open another one?
• Also, it would be a good idea to clear the cache and cookies in your browser;
• Disable all add-ons, plugins and extensions from the category “ad blockers”, “Antispam” and the like. They may work poorly, blocking normal sites. That's why your links don't open;
• Run a global virus scan.

VKontakte link does not open? Feel free to take our article and step by step discard reason by reason. This is the most comprehensive list you can find on the web. We hope your problem will be resolved quickly.

A couple of tips

The first thing you don’t need to do is panic, since the source of most problems is the person sitting in front of the monitor. Next, be sure to check your Internet connection, after which we begin scrolling through the remaining versions.

Also, to avoid the question of what to do if VK does not open from all browsers, you should not install different clients on your PC to receive mail, since they very often carry viruses and various malware that can cause a lot of problems .

Another way to check the functionality of VKontakte is to go to your page from your phone. If it logs in on a mobile phone without any problems, but not on a computer, then that’s where the problem lies.

Contact not working? What to do? It's simple...

doesn't work in contact

Recently, there have been more and more cases when people do not have access to the site in Contact, although all the others are working fine. Why is VKontakte not working and how to stop it? It's simple: Most likely, a “Trojan” has settled on your computer - this is a program like a virus, but more cunning.

Attention! to send SMS to register in a contact! If a contact asks you to send an SMS to a certain number, this means you have a virus.

Read on to learn how to remove the VKontakte virus from your computer.

We do this: Go to the hosts file: On Windows XP, 2003, Vista: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

On Windows NT, 2000: WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

On Windows 7: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

For Windows 7 users: when you go to C:\windows\system32\drivers\ the etc folder will not be there, to open it do this: 1. go to C:\windows 2. run Notepad as Administrator (right mouse button) 3. In notepad, click “Open file”, go to the folder C:\windows\system32\drivers\, the \etc\ folder will appear there, go into it 4. In the same window in the “File” line, manually write hosts and click open.

— check the file hotst. If it doesn’t open, press the right button, there “open with”, select Notepad.

The hosts file should be something like this:

# (C) Microsoft Corp. 1993-1999 # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains mappings of IP addresses to hostnames. # Each element must be on a separate line. The IP address should # be in the first column, followed by the appropriate name. # The IP address and hostname must be separated by at least one space. # # In addition, some lines may include comments # (such as this line), they must follow the node name and are separated # from it by a '#' character. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # origin server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # client host x 127.0.0.1 localhost

or there just needs to be a line 127.0.0.1 localhost

If the file contains references to VKontakte (vk.com) or durov.ru, delete these lines and save the file.

If there is something else there, delete these lines, paste the above text, save the hosts file. The file should not have the extension hotst.txt the file should be called simply hosts

It happens that the hosts file does not open because... a virus in contact blocks access to it. To edit the file, do this: Restart the computer, while loading, press F8, select “Safe Mode”. Once loaded, edit the file according to the instructions above and then reboot.

The essence of the hosts file is to force sites to load from certain IPs (computers). You can check this yourself by writing something like: 127.0.0.1 yandex.ru 127.0.0.1 www.yandex.ru save the file and try loading Yandex - it will load from your computer PS By the way - if anyone didn’t know, then the letters www this is just a subdomain and not a data transfer protocol, the protocol itself is http

Sometimes you can simply delete the hosts file - that also helps. Restart your computer.

We go to the site vk.com, it should open. If you don’t go to the contact page, then the problem is more serious, read on.

If the contact does not work even after deleting hosts

Even now I can’t get in touch, what should I do? Most likely the contact was blocked by viruses in the contact. Find the files vkontakte.exe and svc.exe on your hard drive and delete them. Search like this: Start -> Search -> Files and folders -> select My computer, look for vkontakte.exe and then svc.exe and delete. Reboot the computer. Checking if vkontakte is working. In general, before all manipulations with deleting/editing files, restart the computer.

Check your computer for viruses. If you don’t have an antivirus, download free cureit from Dr.Web https://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/ and scan your computer with it.

As soon as you get in touch, be sure to change the passwords for your mailbox, for the site itself, and link your phone number to your account. If for some reason it is difficult to install a paid antivirus (Kaspersky, Nod 32, etc.), download the free Avast antivirus. Keep in mind that VKontakte does not require any activation of user pages via SMS!

Perhaps you have “cached” an old, incorrect vkontakte address - update the cache: Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Command line -> in the black window write ipconfig /flushdns, reboot

If even after this the contact does not open, you can try to roll back the system to the day when everything was working: Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore Roll back to the date when everything was working.

If you still can’t get in touch, read the comments to this article, there are a lot of people who have solved this problem.
