---------------------------------------
After plugging into power and your router, you will hear 2 distinct sounds: first, a “bep” ‐ indicating the device is powering on, and second, a “chime” ‐ indicating the device is ready for setup.
My Embassy is really hot! Is this normal?
------------------------------------------
Yes, the Embassy's case is actually doing 'double duty' as a heat sync. This means that the metal of the case is actually touching the chips on the circuit board and drawing their heat out and away. This is known as "passive cooling," as no fan (and therefore no additional energy) is required to cool the system.
What if I can't connect to my Embassy?
--------------------------------------
Please ensure your phone / computer is connected to the same wired or wireless network as your Embassy. Be careful that you are not on a separate or "guest" network.

My Tor sites aren't loading, what should I do?

Why am I having trouble using my Embassy via the Brave browser?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, Brave does not treat .onion addresses in a 'secure context.' This is a known issue in Brave that is being tracked `here <https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/13834>`_.
Is it true that iOS has some limited functionality in regard to the Embassy?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The short answer is yes, but not much. Unfortunately, Apple does not allow any ability for Tor to run in the background (everything on the Embassy runs over Tor). Most of your Embassy services can be run with Tor-native apps, inside Consulate, or with another Tor browser, with the exception of RTL, Spark, and Matrix. Zap and Zeus wallets can be used in place of RTL/Spark, and we hope a Tor-native Element client will be available soon to allow for the use of Matrix.

Is it easy to use?

As with anything new, you should expect to spend a little time learning the functions and features, and keep in mind that some Services may be more complex to understand and use than others.
So I can run my own cloud?
