    Hello farazgha,

     

    May I know in which OS you installed Freedome on? And which version of Freedome is installed currently?

    Is there any error message seen when you try to open the browser?

     

    Thank you.

    Hi Freedome Team,

    I have the same problem as Farazgha
    All was working fine since the lastest iOs update for my ipad 3.
    Running: Freedome Version 2.5.0.3732
    iPad3,1 iOS 9.3.1
    Normal internet works fine, as soon as I switch on freedome vpn there is no more connection although there are 3 bars indicating connected to internet. It just keeps searching but nothing happens. After some time it drops the vpn symbol and reverts back to normal wifi with immediate display of the looked for page.
    I have removed the app sveral times and reinstalled but that didnt solve the problem. I have reset my router but also didnt solve the issue.
    Pls advice what to do?

    Dear Moderator,

    I contacted you a few weeks back with the connection issue. You suggested to delete the vpn settings and reinstal it which I did. The issue seemed to have resolved for about 3 days and now the problem is back. When I turn vpn on the connection to the internet is lost. Ipad shows its connected but it wont actually connect to anything. When I switch vpn off....i have normal connectivity to the net.
    Pls come with a permanent fix or I will drop the subscription.
    You have my details regarding freedome version and ipad iOs version.
    Kind regards,
    Michiel.

    Depending on your OS

     

    If you are using windows you can try to do a clean boot

     

    Click on search and type msconfig and hit enter

     

    1. On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, click and select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and click Disable all.

     

    2.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, click Open Task Manager.

     

    3.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.

     

    4.Close Task Manager.

     

    5.On the System Configuration dialog box, then hit Apply and OK, and restart the computer.

     

    6. After the clean boot open msconfig again and choose Normal Startup, go to the startup tab click on open Task Manager and re-enable the services one by one, close Task Manager and then hit Apply and OK and restart.

     

    This simple trick worked for me
