Can I please use this app privately?

The code of the application must have changed recently as historically I have been a user who hasn’t experienced any issues. (Passed Terraform, Vault and CKAD, btw. Thank you!)

Before taking a lab, I am presented with the start lab button. When clicking the start button, nothing happens. Opening up Dev Tools reveals:

Uncaught ReferenceError: mixpanel is not defined

This problem occurs on all practice exams, not just the imperative command example cited above (sending a stack trace will likely make life easier for your developer :wink: )

As mixpanel has been associated with aggressive tracking, it has been blocked by either my ad-blockers or DNS sinkhole (pi-hole). I have been running this configuration during my entire time as a KodeKloud subscriber and have only today started experiencing this issue.

My request to you: would you kindly update your code to more gracefully degrade allowing the app to launch without requiring mixpanel or suggest an alternative that still respects my privacy as a paying subscriber?

Hi @christopher.nyberg,
Thanks for reporting this issue. I forwarded this issue to the concnered team.

Regards,

Circling back: I used the app yesterday without issue. Thank you!

Same thing happened to me. I couldn’t start the labs in my Firefox browser due to the ad blocker, but it seems the issue is now resolved.
