Troubleshooting Common Issues:
-
Connection Issues:
- If the VPN connection is broken, check if the firewall settings are allowing traffic from your device to the VPN server.
- Ensure that the VPN is running and enabled.
-
Network Issues:
The VPN may not be able to connect to the intended network if your device's network is blocked by a firewall or router.
-
Rate Limiting:
If you're using a rate-limited service, check if the VPN is reaching your limit. If not, you may need to reduce the rate.
-
DNS or IP Issues:
If you're using a domain or IP address, ensure that the domain is correctly registered and accessible.
