Playing Infinite Craft on Games 76 When It Gets Blocked
Infinite Craft is the word-combination sandbox that took off a while back, and Games 76 hosts it as one of their browser titles. Sometimes school or office networks block it, and you end up staring at a blank screen or a refusal message instead of actually playing. There is no single official tool from the game's creators for bypassing network blocks. What actually works is routing your browser traffic through a method that doesn't trigger the same filters. Most people use a web proxy or a VPN for this. I've dealt with this a bunch, mostly at places with decent filtering. The usual setup is opening a proxy site, pasting the Games 76 Infinite Craft URL into it, and letting it load through their server. It works fast enough that you can start crafting within thirty seconds.
One specific issue I ran into: some proxies would load the page but the canvas wouldn't render properly. The drag-and-drop just didn't respond. I figured out the workaround was switching to a different proxy or trying it in a fresh Incognito window with cache cleared. That usually fixes the rendering mismatch. VPNs are the more reliable option if you have access to one. You connect, then navigate to Games 76 normally. The trade-off is that not everyone has a paid VPN, and free ones tend to be slower or get blocked themselves.
How Infinite Craft Actually Works
The game gives you four base elements: Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth. You combine them to discover new ones. Steam plus Earth gives Mud. Mud plus Fire gives Brick. Then you keep going. The entire tree branches from those four starting points. Most players miss that the game has a search function built into the results panel. If you remember part of a created element's name, typing it there filters the discoveries you've already made. I spent way too long recombining things before I found that. Another detail people overlook: combining two elements you've already discovered doesn't always give the same result as the first time. The game sometimes generates variant names or alternate recipes depending on the order and what else you have unlocked.

The community has mapped out most of the major branches by now. You can find spreadsheets online if you want to chase specific combinations like Life or Planet. Doing it blind is fine for a few hours, but it gets repetitive once you hit the common elements.
What Doesn't Work
Some methods people suggest are useless. Clearing your browser cookies won't unblock a network-level block. Hitting refresh repeatedly just reloads the same blocked page. Installing random extensions from sketchy sites is how you get malware, not an unblocked game. If the block is on the DNS level, only a proxy or VPN will get around it. A different browser on the same network does nothing. Trying a mobile hotspot might work if the phone's data connection isn't filtered the same way.
The Practical Setup
Pick a working proxy. Enter the Games 76 Infinite Craft URL. Load the page. If it hangs or the interface breaks, try another proxy or clear the cache and open in a new window. If that still fails, a VPN is the next step. It usually takes less than two minutes to get everything running if you pick something that isn't completely overloaded.
