Common Issues & Solutions

VPN Connection Drops Frequently

Connection becomes unstable and disconnects regularly.

Solution:

Check firewall settings, enable keep-alive packets, adjust MTU size, and verify network stability. Consider switching to a more stable protocol like WireGuard.

Slow VPN Performance

Internet speed is significantly reduced when connected to VPN.

Solution:

Try different server locations, switch protocols (WireGuard is typically fastest), adjust encryption settings, check for bandwidth limitations, and optimize MTU size.

Cannot Access Local Network

Unable to reach local devices while VPN is connected.

Solution:

Configure split tunneling to exclude local network traffic, adjust routing tables, or set up proper subnet routing on the VPN server.

DNS Resolution Issues

Websites not loading or DNS lookups failing.

Solution:

Configure VPN to use specific DNS servers, check for DNS leaks, verify DNS server accessibility, and consider using public DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
