Message: "Error Connecting: Secure VPN is having trouble connecting to the server..."
This error is displayed if Secure VPN fails to connect to a VPN server, which can be caused due to temporary problems with your network connection. To fix this problem, wait for some time and try connecting to Secure VPN again.
Connect to a different VPN region
Try connecting to a different VPN region
-
Example #1: If you are in the USA and the VPN region is set to "Auto-Select", then, connect to the USA region manually from the VPN region tab
-
Example #2: If you are in the USA and the VPN region is already selected to the "USA", then, connect to the closest different region "Canada" or "Mexico"
-
Example #3: If you are in Germany and the VPN region is already selected to "Germany", then, connect to the closest different region "Switzerland" or "France"
Check your Internet connection
