Hi, now on Reddit on the topic of VPNs periodically appear threads like "I go to the website with VPN, but the website still doesn't work" and other similar issues. This guide will be universal, because most likely one of these problems (not usually) can be solved if you follow one of these steps.
-
Firewall configuration (critical): Your computer's firewall configuration may be the reason why websites are inaccessible when using a VPN. It is recommended that you enable the ports used by VPNs and whitelist VPN servers in your firewall.
-
Cookies and cache (obvious, but simple): While they help you view the content you like, these files contain and may reveal information about your actual location. Therefore, it is important to clear these files. They can also become corrupted and interfere with the proper functioning of a website or online service.
-
Blocking directly by the browser: Some browsers may have a built-in script to block certain sites. Changing your browser may help.
-
Connection status: Check the connection status between your computer and the VPN server. If the connection is weak, you may have problems accessing websites. Try restarting the router and then re-enabling your VPN again.
-
Restrictions imposed by the VPN service: Some VPN services impose restrictions on the use of certain websites, and this may result in you not being able to access certain websites.
-
Problem with the VPN application: There may be technical problems with the VPN application that cause you to be unable to access websites. In this case, it is recommended that you reinstall the VPN application or use a different VPN application.

Hello, Thanks for replying and trying to help me,
but unfortunately the problem still remains.
Example image #1
context: in this image you see PROTON VPN Trying to connect to a server, however it failed.
it tried to connect to the VPN server thingy but it failed, the VPN Tried connecting to
Europe - [France / England], Asia - [Japan / some others idk] NorthAmerica - [USA / Canada]
And the VPN Program is constantly Trying to Connect to Different servers After the other
fails to connect, which means it will try Connecting to random servers until the connection
successfully initialize. in that case it will continue "Trying" to connect to servers
and fail at the end.
just for information, i tried all those vpns again.
thanks again for trying to help me.
is there anything else I can do?
