    VPN does not work: what to check first

    If VPN does not connect or connects without site access, the service is not always the cause. Common issues are old profiles, other VPN conflicts, DNS, device time or filtering on a specific network.

    understand when to try a backup profile

    What to do

    1

    Refresh the subscription profile in the client and reconnect.

    2

    Disable other VPNs, proxies, Private DNS and data saver mode.

    3

    Test another network: mobile data instead of Wi-Fi or vice versa.

    4

    Restart the app that did not open before VPN was enabled.

    How to understand where the connection fails

    Does the subscription refresh?

    If the server list does not refresh, the issue can be before the VPN server: the network blocks the subscription URL, the app cannot open it or the profile is old.

    VPN connects but sites do not load?

    That is a different case: the tunnel may be up while DNS, route or a specific ISP still interferes with traffic. Test a website, Telegram and YouTube separately.

    Does the error appear instantly?

    Immediate timeout, TLS error or import marks often point to the app, network or blocked profile refresh method rather than the plan itself.

    Quick checklist before connecting

    Split the issue into two steps: whether the subscription refreshes and whether VPN connects.

    If the subscription does not refresh, check link access, network, device date and app version.

    If VPN connects but sites do not open, check DNS, another network and specific services separately.

    If the issue happens only on mobile data, filtering can be on the operator side, not in the app.

    If Wi-Fi works, keep the working profile and contact support with the mobile operator name.

    Do not delete the account or payment: usually the profile or connection method needs updating.

    Common questions

    Why is VPN connected but sites do not open?

    Often traffic is not routed through the tunnel because of client mode, system proxy, DNS conflict or an old subscription profile.

    Why does reconnecting help?

    Some networks silently break connections. Reconnecting creates a new route and profile refresh loads current parameters.
