  1. VPN not working


    Since the latest update on Windows 10 2004 build 19041.450, I cannot use any type of VPN on my laptop. I have tried using ExpressVPN their own client, it shows it is connected but I cannot browse the internet. Also I tried using VPN Unlimited their own client, it shows again that is connected, but the IP address remains the same.


    I have never faced this issue before and I have been using both the mentioned VPNs for over a few years.


    I tried using both the above mentioned VPNs on my android phone and they work perfectly fine.


    I would appreciate if someone can tell me what the issue is.

    :)

    Hi everyone.
    I am not an expert about Vpn and that's why I would like to know if someone could list me a few trusted Vpns, I would really appreciate any suggestion/ advice.

    Thanks.

  4. VPN not working

    vpn is not working

    Hi,

    To address your concern, provide the answers to the following:

    • Is your WiFi enabled when trying to connect to VPN?
    • Were you able to use WiFi without connecting to VPN?

    If you can use WiFi properly without connecting to VPN, we suggest that you refer to your company's IT folks.

    Regards.
