NEWEST VERSION OF FREEDOM WON'T CONNECT

SPAZ_JAMMER

Updated to the newest version of Freedome last week. It will not connect to a server - just keeps spinning its wheels. Have unistalled and reinstalled twice, no luck. Running on windows 10, no error message, have let it sit and try to connect dozens of times, sometimes letting it run for 10+ minutes. please help or let me restore a previous version (windows does not have a previous version on file since I unistalled it).

Hello @SPAZ_JAMMER

 

   
Thank you for the information, it seems you are already using the latest version of Freedome. In such case,  we would like you to double check that your internet connection is stable. If possible, connect to some other network to see, if the issue continues.

If F-Secure Freedome works without problems and the issue doesn't continue, it's likely that this phenomenon is caused by unstable internet connection.

In case the issue continues also when you're connected to another network, try removing and reinstalling F-Secure Freedome on your device.  For that, please follow the below steps.

A). First uninstall Freedome

1. Download the Uninstallation Tool  and save it to your desktop (or run it immediately).
2. Double click FsUninstallationTool.exe, accept the terms and run the uninstaller. You need to choose     which components you want to uninstall. CHOOSE ONLY FREEDOME.

3. When the uninstaller has finished, reboot the computer.

. Type the following commands to Command Prompt

1. Open a Command Prompt (Run as administrator) window.   
2. Type in pnputil -e >list.txt  which creates list.txt and you can easily search "f-secure" from that text file.  
3. Figure out which *.inf file is associated with the F-Secure Freedome TAP driver  
4. Run pnputil.exe -d oem<NUMBER>.inf  Which will remove the driver.

C) . Flush the DNS cache. For that, Open command prompt as an administrator and type the following commands:

 

1. Type ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter
2. Type netsh winsock reset and hit enter
3. Type netsh int ipv6 reset and hit enter

4. Type netcfg -d and hit enter

D). Re-start your computer and re-install Freedome to check whether the issue still remain.
