my laptops vpn’s suddenly stopped connecting while in school and now i can’t use my laptop l. i’ve tried multiple vpn apps such has hotspot, x-vpn, proton, and they no longer work and im just curious as to why . my friend uses hotspot and it works fine, and another uses x-vpn on the same laptop and doesn’t have an issue, it just seems to be me. they are both personal laptops and i haven’t had an issue before this week.
Dunno maybe try flushing dns via cmd.
Sounds like your school blocked vpns. Your friend can still use his because he’s on a hotspot, not the school’s wifi.
Try windscribe vpn,
A. You get 10GB per month free.
B. It has multiple protocols it automatically goes through if it fails to connect. I know that “stealth” at least should almost always work no matter how they blocked vpns.
he’s not on a hotspot 100%, he’s connected to the wifi using the same free vpn i use, i have two friends both using two different free vpns, xvpn and hotspot. i’m also able to use vpns on my phone, so it’s definitely my own laptop issue
I heard windows 11 recently released a vpn breaking update… Maybe you’re an unfortunate victim?
yeah i was thinking it was maybe because of asus bloatware or windows 11 shit, it’s probably that tbh
If you have a routed Android phone you should be able to share your VPN connection by tethering your PC over USB.
