HP Notebook - 15q-ds0004tx

I've tried lots of ways to get Roblox Unblocked on my laptop, but none seem to last. I have adopted the methods mentioned here:

 

https://en.help.roblox.com/now-gg-roblox-login-and-gameplay-roblox-unblocked

 

one is working but my laptop gets hangs too many times. I want a more reliable solution, without breaking any rules. Can anyone share a simple and professional way to keep Roblox unblocked on my device for a long time?

 

I've tested browser extensions and proxies, but they don't work well. I'm looking for expert advice on a secure and lasting method that respects school guidelines while getting Roblox Unblocked. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @Infrexa

 

Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

We noticed that this thread hasn't had any updates in a while since your original post; while this is rare, we didn't want this post to remain unanswered, so, here's the solution to your query. We hope it helps you and everyone viewing this post 😊

 

Here's a professional and responsible approach to playing Roblox on your HP Notebook 15q-ds0004tx, without breaking any rules or risking performance or security issues:

Understand Why Roblox is Blocked

Roblox is often blocked by:

  • School/organization networks via firewalls or DNS filtering

  • System administrator restrictions via Windows Group Policy

  • Antivirus or parental controls

Trying to bypass these restrictions with shady proxies or extensions can lead to:

  • Performance issues (like the hanging you're facing)

  • Security risks (malware, data theft)

  • Potential policy violations (which can get you in trouble)

Legit and Reliable Ways to Get Roblox Working Smoothly

1. Use a Personal/Unrestricted Network

If you're on a school or work Wi-Fi:

  • Try using your mobile hotspot or a home network. School Wi-Fi likely blocks game ports or domains entirely.

  • If you're using your personal laptop (not managed by the school), this is your cleanest option.

2. Install Roblox via the Official App

  • Download Roblox from the official website — not Now.gg or third-party portals.

  • Install the Windows app instead of using the browser version.

    • This gives better performance and avoids browser restrictions.

    • Works better on your HP Notebook (with 8th-gen Core i5 and 8GB RAM).

3. Ensure No Background Blockers

Make sure:

  • Windows Defender or any installed antivirus isn’t interfering.

  • Your DNS settings are not being filtered (reset them to Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

4. Use a VPN Only If Permitted

A VPN like ProtonVPN (free tier) or Windscribe can work only if you're not violating school rules or terms of service. Use it off-campus if you're unsure.

  • Avoid free browser-based VPN extensions — they often slow down your system or harvest data.

  • Always check if VPN use is allowed under your institution's IT policy.

5. Avoid Now.gg for Long-Term Use

  • Now.gg (cloud-based Roblox) is convenient but very demanding on browser memory, which may be why your laptop hangs.

  • On your HP Notebook, local install via Roblox player gives better control and lower system stress.

Performance Tip for Your HP Notebook 15q-ds0004tx

Your laptop has a mechanical HDD, which slows down everything, especially games.

Consider upgrading to an SSD:

  • You'll notice massive improvements not just in Roblox but general responsiveness.

  • Even a 240GB SSD is affordable and easy to install.

Don’t Do This

  • Don’t use cracked, proxy-routed versions of Roblox.

  • Don’t tamper with group policies or system registries if you’re on a managed device (school-owned).

  • Don’t use Now.gg excessively if your laptop can’t handle browser-based virtualization.
