Why do I lose internet connection when I connect to VPN?

There are many reasons why you might lose your internet connection when connecting to a VPN. Here are some possible causes:

1. Your ISP could be experiencing an outage.

2. The VPN server could be down or unreachable.

3. Your internet connection could be too slow to support the VPN connection.

4. There may be a problem with the VPN configuration on your device.

5. The VPN client on your device could be outdated or incompatible with the server you’re trying to connect to.

If you’re having trouble connecting to the Internet with NordVPN, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that your NordVPN account is active and that you’re using the correct login information. Then, check your Internet connection to ensure that it’s working properly. Finally, if you’re still having trouble connecting to the Internet with NordVPN, contact customer support for help.


Worth knowing

If you’re experiencing issues with your internet connection while using VPN, it could be due to an outdated VPN version. Having an updated VPN is important to avoid connection issues. If you are running an outdated version, update it. You can also re-install the VPN software again.


Worth knowing

When I turn on my Norton VPN, I lose Internet connection. This is because the Norton VPN client changes your IP address and routing table so that all traffic goes through the VPN server. As a result, your computer is no longer able to communicate with any other computers on the Internet outside of the VPN server.


Worth knowing

If you’re trying to connect to a Line-Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) connection, there are a few things you’ll need to do. First, check to see if your computer can support L2TP. Most modern computers can, but if yours is on the older side you may need to upgrade your software or hardware. Next, gather the information you’ll need to connect: the IP address or domain name of the VPN server, your username and password (provided by your VPN provider), and any special configuration settings that might be required. Finally, follow these steps:

1) Open the Network and Sharing Center in Windows. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
2) Click “Set up a new connection or network.”
3) Select “Connect to a workplace,” then click “Next.”
4) Select “Use my Internet connection (VPN),” then enter the VPN server’s Address either as an IP address or a domain name. If you don’t know this information, contact your VPN provider for assistance.
5) Enter your User name and Password provided by your VPN provider, then click “Create.”
6) Click “Close” once the successful message appears. Your new L2TP connection should now be listed under Connections in Network and Sharing Center!
