Hi ​@Eight, I’m checking back in as I've touched base with the Technical Quality team. Good to hear things are working again after switching your DNS server, and thanks for sticking with it through the back-and-forth.

Adding this update here for anyone else who lands on this thread with *.makeproxy-c.figma.site showing as blocked — it's one of the domains Figma needs reachable, listed here: Adjust your network settings.

If it's already on your allowlist and still isn't loading, it's worth checking whether your DNS server can resolve it. Switching to Cloudflare's public DNS has helped in some cases.

On Windows:

  1. Open SettingsNetwork & internet.
  2. Select your active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
  3. Find DNS server assignment and click Edit.
  4. Change Automatic (DHCP) to Manual.
  5. Turn on IPv4.
  6. Set Preferred DNS to 1.1.1.1.
  7. Optionally, set Alternate DNS to 1.0.0.1.
  8. Save your changes, restart your browser, and try Figma Make again.

This may not be the answer every time, but it's a quick one to rule out — and if you do try it, let us know whether the preview loads. That helps us understand how widely this is affecting people.

We're keeping watch for related reports in the meantime. If anything unexpected comes up, don't hesitate to post — a screenshot of the error along with the steps leading up to it will help us take a deeper look.

Hey ​@Eight, welcome to Figma Forum and thanks for the screenshot. Sorry you're hitting this with Figma Make.

The Couldn't load Make. error means Make can't reach its service to load. Since you're seeing it on both the Figma Desktop App and the browser, it's most often something on the network path rather than Make itself. A few things worth trying:

  1. Refresh the page (or fully quit and reopen the Figma Desktop App).
  2. Switch networks — if you can, try a different Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot.
  3. Turn off any VPN, proxy, or ad blocker, then reload.

For more information, have a look here: Troubleshoot in Figma Make → Error messages.

If none of that helps, I've emailed you steps to share access securely so the Technical Quality team can investigate further. Your case number is: 2045225.

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

Hi again, ​@Eight — thanks for taking the time to run through those steps. If you're able to test on a different network, let me know whether that changes anything, as that'll help us narrow down where the block is coming from.

To troubleshoot on your main network, this resource walks through what to check: Adjust your network settings → Check your network settings.

And the door's still open on the case I mentioned. 🙏🏻 If this keeps happening, you're welcome to share the affected file with the Technical Quality team so they can dig in directly.

Hey ​@Eight — thanks for sending this over, the screenshot is very helpful. I can see that *.makeproxy-c.figma.site is being blocked by your network, and that's the domain Figma Make relies on to load — which lines up with the error you're seeing.

The fix is to get that domain added to your network's allowlist. Since it's your main network, this usually needs to go through whoever manages it (an IT or network admin) if it isn't one you control directly. This resource lists the full set of domains Figma recommends allowlisting, and the proxy-bypass steps if you're behind a VPN or firewall: Adjust your network settings.

In the meantime, your case is open with the team and they're reviewing this as well. Let me know if you're able to get moving once the domain is unblocked — otherwise the team member looking after your case can continue the deeper dive from there.
