🎐 Network Requirements

This extension requires access to Pixiv (pixiv.net and pximg.net).

For users in regions with restricted access: This extension supports Reverse Proxy for loading images. You can enable this feature in the Advanced Settings:

1. Open extension settings
2. Scroll to Advanced Settings
3. Enter a proxy domain in Use Reverse Proxy (e.g., i.pixiv.re, i.pixiv.cat, i.pixiv.nl)
4. Leave empty to disable

See REVERSE_PROXY_GUIDE.md for detailed instructions.

If images still cannot load, check your network connection or try a different proxy domain. Note that this extension does not provide its own proxy infrastructure—it uses third-party reverse proxy services.
