Coming to the topic, while using the service, users sometimes face error code 502. The Error Code 502 simply signfies that the proxy server is unable to get a valid response from the origin server. This could be due to reasons like an intrusive browser or server issues.
Follow the steps below to solve Error Code 502 issue on Crunchyroll:-
1. This problem can be solved just by changing your broswer. Opera is one of the best options while choosing a new browser. It is based on Chromium so you won’t have any issues in the extensions department as all of Google Chrome’s extension work with Opera. In addition to this, it comes with an inbuilt free VPN. Opera Browser is available for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.
2. Disable your VPN
We already know that Crunchyroll does not respond well when a VPN service is used to stream. So try to turn off your VPN if enabled and check whether the issue gets resolved or not.
3. Make sure that the Crunchyroll app is updated and running on the latest version.
4. All this issue can be just due to server issues from Crunchyroll’s side. So wait a little longer if the steps above do not work for you.
5. If anyone you know is able to use the service and only you are getting an error code 502 message, this is probably not a server outage.Try the steps above and if all do not work, contact the company’s help center for further help..
