Troubleshooting VPN connection

Common Problems and Fixes:

  • Cannot Connect:

    • Ensure your internet connection is active and stable.

    • Verify that the VPN server address in the configuration file is correct.

    • Restart the VPN client and try again.

  • Authentication Failed:

    • Double-check your username and password.

    • Ensure your VPN subscription is active.

  • Slow Speeds:

    • Switch to a server closer to your location.

    • Disconnect other devices from your network to reduce bandwidth competition.

  • VPN Disconnections:

    • Disable power-saving features on your device, which may interrupt the VPN.

    • Check for firewall or antivirus software that might block VPN traffic.

Advanced Troubleshooting:

  • Check Logs: Review the OpenVPN or Pritunl logs to identify error messages.

  • DNS Issues: If websites do not load after connecting, configure DNS settings to use a public DNS server like Google (8.8.8.8).

  • Reinstall the Client: If problems persist, reinstall the VPN client and re-import the configuration file.
