Freedome VPN doesn´t connect to internet anymore
Some weeks ago Freedome stopped working and had issues in connecting to internet. when I switch it off, internet connectivity works fine.
It seems that there is some issues with host name resolution (DNS server ??)
Freedome used to workperfectly on my laptop win7 professional when suddenly this connectivity problem arised. I used freedom to stream video from Finland to Philippines,
rebooting the laptop didn´t help.
Please support.

Hello,
Sorry for my reply.
Just as brief suggestion and try to re-check. Recently there was noted that released fresh build for F-Secure Freedome: https://community.f-secure.com/t5/F-Secure/Last-update-broke-my-computer/m-p/95035/highlight/true#M8536
Do you use latest Freedome for Windows (1.16)? If no - maybe you able try to force update (by related option from UI/tray-menu; or by launch fresh installer from F-Secure website). What if it can be useful for your situation?
If not - just back with reply and maybe there will be proper response from experienced F-Secure Freedome users or from official F-Secure stuff.
Thanks.

So, since I also just F-Secure user (and with small experience about Freedome) I able to create some suggestions - but maybe it can be not really useful:
Spoiler--> just as double-check that there missing blocking/preventing by any other security software. With meanings - what if it randomly start blocking Freedome for proper work;
Or, at least, there was some situations when Firewall (possible with Windows Firewall too) block/prevent proper work for Freedome. Such situation possible to re-check if there have any deny/restrict rules for Freedome (or maybe OpenVPN); If so - maybe you able try to remove/disable such rule and check what will be there with Freedome usage;
--> not clear - does there also Freedome not able to connect to server ("location")? Or there possible to connect (as Freedome noted that there is "Turned ON" status), but Internet not reachable? Maybe there also possible try to connect with different locations (most likely you tried it, but anyway);
--> because it happened randomly - maybe there possible try with reinstallation Freedome;
But also with such situation (where required investigation) good to contact F-Secure Freedome team. Of course, if there some technical trouble.. but not something as your ISP (as example) start blocking VPN traffic (or other kind of this);But basically there can be two other options:
-> most likely there will be more suggestions (with good proper words), but later (?!);
-> on current time - maybe you able try to use direct F-Secure Support Channels (chat/phone) https://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/contact-support
What if it will be available and Support Agent have some knowledge (what if such situation is recent and common trouble for Freedome user's experience);

Hi,
The latest version is in use and the problem still persists. I chatted with Sethu (F-Secure expert on chat service) and tried for hours but unfortunately no solution. he reinstalled the lated verion but no use. Also the old versions were tried , didn't help.
Still waiting for some resolution if someone can help.
Br,

I have/had a similar case. Freedome always stopped working after 2 or 3 days. I am in contact with support since several weeks and have got a number of proposals how to solve the issue.
3 days ago I got the last proposal and so far Freedome works but needs to monitor it a couple of days longer. I have got a new Freedome Beta version and had to add a Windows registry key with the command prompt (administrator mode).
Before, when Freedome stopped working (blocking Internet when active) was to open the device manager, go network adapters and deinstall "Freedome Tab driver". Then turn on Freedome, Freedome emmidiately installs the driver again and is functional again (for a couple of days)
