Stuck on the Muse waitlist? Check these 5 things about your IP

Muse is the AI agent Meta launched in September 2026. Many people trying to sign up see “Muse isn’t available in your country or region yet” or wait on the waitlist indefinitely. Meta hasn’t published its criteria, but official notes and many user reports point to the network exit as the first thing to check. The Muse sign-up check covers all five below at once.

At a glance: 5 checks before a Muse sign-upThe exit should be in the US or Canada, residential rather than datacenter, not flagged as a proxy or VPN, not leaking another IP through WebRTC or DNS, and paired with a browser whose time zone and language look local. At a glance: 5 checks for Muse 1 Exit in the US or Canada Elsewhere generally lands on the waitlist 2 Residential, not datacenter VPN nodes and cloud IPs are often refused 3 Not flagged as a proxy or VPN Turn off iCloud Private Relay and WARP 4 No other IP leaking from the browser Check WebRTC and DNS; fix red items first 5 Browser looks local Exit’s time zone, English as first language The Muse sign-up check covers all five at once.
Meta hasn’t published its criteria. These five come from official notes and user reports; start with the exit region.

1. Is the exit in the US or Canada?

Meta’s help center only says Muse is “not yet available everywhere”. First-hand sources exist for two markets: the US (launched 8 September 2026) and Canada (Canadian App Store listing on 18 September; the terms’ arbitration clause names “US or Canada”). Exits elsewhere generally land on the waitlist.

2. Residential or datacenter?

Users report that VPN nodes and cloud / datacenter IPs are often refused, and even some dedicated home lines fail, while clean US or Canadian residential IPs pass most often. This comes from user reports, not an official Meta rule.

3. Flagged as a proxy or VPN?

A residential IP on a public proxy / VPN or abuse list can still be refused. iCloud Private Relay and Cloudflare WARP exits are shared by many users — turn them off while signing up.

Being residential and staying off proxy / VPN lists are separate checks: a home IP on a list can still be refused.

4. Is the browser leaking another IP?

If the proxy doesn’t handle UDP, any page can read another IP through WebRTC; a DNS resolver in another country also reveals where you are. Fix red items under “How to fix” before signing up.

5. Does the browser look local?

A non-American time zone and language aren’t fatal on their own, but they don’t fit a US exit. Set the system time zone to the exit’s region, make English the first browser language, and start from a fresh browser profile (or clear muse.ai cookies).

Still not working?

  • Try a new email or phone number; retrying an address already on the waitlist rarely helps.
  • Muse requires you to be 18 or older and to have a Meta account (you can create one with email or phone).
  • Users report that once signed up, day-to-day use is far less strict about IPs — but hopping between exits in different regions can still trigger checks.
Muse’s terms require you to be in a country where it’s available. Accounts created by getting around the region check may be restricted.
