It'll be utterly annoying when you’re trying to log in to your Spotify account but only to find that the Error Code 30 pop up on your screen. No matter you’re a Premium user or free user, this problem may ruin a day that could have been better.
In the following parts, we’re going to analyze the causes of Spotify Error Code 30 issue and solve it with some solutions.
Causes of Spotify Error Code 30
There’re several causes that will lead to Error Code 30, here’s a list of them:
1. Spotify Proxy is Activated
Once you activate the proxy within the Spotify app, the error may appear. The easiest way is to set the Proxy option to No Proxy. But to reset this field, you’ll need to log in to Spotify first, so you might need to reinstall Spotify to clean the user cache and settings.
2. You’re Using Third-Party VPN
When you use the VPN at a system level, the Spotify app might think you’re using the app in another country. So you’ll need to close your VPN or change the IP address to your home country.
3. You’re in A Different Country
Spotify will deny you from logging in to your account when it finds that you’re in a different country. You can either change your Country in Spotify or use a VPN that has a server in your home country.
4. Overprotective Firewall
An overprotective firewall will block the Spotify connection. You can fix this by classifying the Spotify app to the white list of the firewall.
Fixes to Spotify Error Code 30
1. Disable Spotify Proxy Server
The most common Error Code 30 cause is that the Spotify Proxy server is accidentally activated. To disable Spotify proxy server:
1. Open Spotify on your computer, then go to settings.
2. Scroll down to Proxy, set the Proxy type to No Proxy.
3. Restart the Spotify app.
2. Change the Account Country
In many cases, if the user moves to another country, then the Spotify app can no longer be accessed. To change account country:
1. Log in to your Spotify account page
2. Click Edit profile
3. Click the Country bar below and select the country you’re in from the dropdown list.
4. Click SAVE PROFILE
3. Disable Third-Party VPN
If you’re using a third-party VPN, make sure to disable or route the Spotify app every time you log into your Spotify account.
But if you move to another country and don’t want to change your account country, you’ll have to do it in reverse. Apply the server of your own country in your VPN, then you can log into your Spotify account.
4. Exempt Spotify from Firewall
If you used to set an overprotective Firewall, it may block the Spotify app to connect. You’ll need to allow Spotify through the Firewall:
1. Click the search icon on the left of the taskbar on your computer, then type in firewall to enter Firewall settings.
2. Click Allow an app through firewall.
3. Click Change Settings, then scroll down to find Spotify, then allow spotify.exe through both Private and Public connection.
4. Click OK to save settings.
