Affected Models

Samsung Smart TV
Apple TV
Amazon Fire Stick
Roku
iPhone and iPad
Android Phone

Common Causes

No internet connection on your device
Disney+ servers temporarily down
VPN or proxy blocking the connection
DNS settings preventing the connection
Firewall or router blocking Disney+

How to Fix It

Check that your device has an active internet connection.

Open a browser and try loading any website.
If nothing loads, the issue is your internet, not Disney+.
Restart your router and modem.

Unplug both for 30 seconds.
Plug the modem in first, wait for it to connect, then plug in the router.
Disable any VPN or proxy you are using.

Disney+ blocks many VPN services.
Turn off your VPN completely and try again.
Change your DNS to Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).

Some ISP DNS servers have trouble resolving Disney+ addresses.
Changing DNS often fixes connection errors.
Check the Disney+ status page for outages.

Visit downdetector.com/status/disney-plus to see if Disney+ is down in your area.
If so, wait and try again later.

When to Call a Professional

Error 4 does not require professional help in almost all cases.
If your internet works fine for other apps, the issue is specific to Disney+ servers.
Contact your ISP only if no websites are loading at all.
