Issue:

Why is there no internet connection on my computer when F-Secure FREEDOME VPN protection is turned ON?

Resolution:

To try to fix the issue, reset the DNS cache on your computer.

How to reset DNS cache on a Windows computer:

Open the command prompt as an administrator. Click the Windows start button > type "cmd" > Right-click Command Prompt > Click Run as Administrator.

In the Command prompt, type the commands below. After each command, press Enter to execute.

• ipconfig /flushdns
• netsh winsock reset
• netsh int ipv6 reset

You can restart your machine and check again.

If the above steps do not help, the issue might be that your firewall is blocking the connection.
If that is the case, you need to change your firewall settings to allow the connection.

Our Android, Windows and macOS products use the OpenVPN protocol.
The ports for Android, Mac, and Windows are:

• TCP/UDP ports in the range 2700 - 2800
• TCP port 443

Please allow traffic on these ports in your firewall and try to connect Freedome again.
