Overview
If you are having trouble
accessing the web or establishing a
VPN connection, your
network settings might be the culprit. This mostly applies to Wi-Fi and
LAN (Local Area Network) connections. However,
corrupted settings can affect Ethernet, Bluetooth, and
Cellular/LTE networks as well.
Before attempting to reset your
network settings, we recommend restarting your router and/or your device. In most cases that will do the trick. If you are still
unable to connect, resetting these settings to their default values will likely help you connect again.
