Troubleshooting
Most common problems
Generic
1Slow Connection
Speed and latency depends on what geographic area you connecting to.
Example a user in Thailand that connect to a server in Scandinavia will experience bandwidth as low as 2 to 10 mbps.
Internet infrastructure is complex, and everything depends on agreements between Internet providers and fiber-length.
Connecting to a local server will should give you a speed up to what you have at home.
One other factor can be your machine or mobile. openvpn can just use one cpu core, so if you have a low clocked cpu this can affect the bandwidth.

2Unable to connect
If you are behind a firewall that blocks openvpn we recommend that you change protocoll to IKEv2 or try another client.
Our native clients have a HTTPS API that IPS firewalls are able to block. This API is used for downloading the serverlist and a few other functions.
In this case go to connect and follow "openvpn for Windows 10, Android or IOS".

3Blocked from China
If you are blocked in China please contact our support. We have a special configuration for users that experience this.
4Netflix (and other streaming-services) does not work
Netflix and other are forced to block users that connect from VPN services.
We often change our IP adresses to buypass these filters, but we see more and more often that netflix (and other) are have effective methods to ban us again.
We do our best to stay under the radar.

We do multiple logins (one for the GUI, and reauthenticate every time your change server), and in some cases special characters is not permitted. Try to change your password to one without special characters.
