Hi, for the last month or so, my laptop VPN, takes a good 2-3 mintutes to connect, to any server.
I’ve been using the basic package for the last few months and all seemed ok initially, would previously connect in a few seconds. What’s changed or is there an adapter/driver issue I’m facing?
Anything I can test/do or reset to bring it back?
I’m using Windows 10 Pro. Thanks.
Is the delay occuring just on Windows 10 laptop or any device connected on your network e.g. Mobile or another laptop with probably different OS?
Try on your mobile once on same network (if you were using Broadband on laptop) and then test ProtonVPN app with mobile network data.
Try going back to OpenVPN, if you’re on Wireguard. Doing that improved my connection.
Did this begin after an update?
Hi, indeed just on windows laptop. With my android tablet it connects within a few seconds, using the same wifi network and 4g/5g data network.
Thats how it use to be before on windows too, within a few seconds.
The thing that I did change, using Wireguard. As breezyturd suggested, I’ve gone back to OpenVPN protocol and things have gone back to normal.
Perhaps there are some other bugs in the Windows app or protocol being beta, as my android tablet connects with Wireguard fast, as before.
Hi, I tried that and it went back to normal. I never thought of it, considering its still in beta stage. Thanks for that.
Yes there are bugs. I installed ProtonVPN client for Linux, initially it worked fine but after an update it didn’t even opened or worked properly.
There might some issue with their current implementation of wireguard for windows.
Hope it will be resolved soon.
