How to stop loading VPN

Hello everyone,
Now I'm having problems again. I can't connect to VPN anymore. Not with Hydra or any of the others. No country/server works. It spins and spins in an endless loop, but I can't connect. And it's been like this for 3 days now.

What's going on here? Everything was working again. Slowly, it's getting really bad and it makes you sad.

I can't find any tips for solving this problem here either.

I've been typing for 5 minutes now and it's still spinning in circles. I haven't changed anything. After work, I turn on the computer and that's it. When I go to bed, I turn it off. I'm slowly starting to not understand anything anymore.

For a while, it still worked when switched on manually, but now that doesn't work either.

I'm starting to think it's getting worse rather than better. Every week there's update after update, and all you get is the black card.

It works fine on Android, but on Windows it's always such a hassle.

Bank protection and online trading also work, but this ****** (🤐🤐🙊) VPN is causing nothing but problems here.

😪😑😤 Please help

Hello @JOnes

Thank you for your message and for sharing your thoughts.

We completely understand your concern, and you’ve raised a valid point. Disabling IPv6 is suggested as a temporary troubleshooting step to help narrow down the cause of the issue, not as a permanent solution. In some cases, certain underlying network conditions may not handle IPv6 traffic as expected, which can result in the kind of behaviour some users have reported, such as the VPN getting stuck on "loading."

We want to reassure you that these steps are part of a broader diagnostic process to help our teams isolate and address compatibility issues as efficiently as possible. While our software is thoroughly tested in a variety of environments, the diversity of real-world setups — including different operating systems, drivers, networks, and third-party software — means that some issues only appear under specific conditions.

That said, I would also like to clarify and correct the previous recommendation. The intended workaround for this specific VPN connection issue involves a known case where a non-working IPv6 DNS server may interfere with VPN operations.

As a more targeted approach, we suggest the following:

• Disable DHCP-based DNS servers, and
• Manually configure a reliable IPv4 DNS server, such as:
  • 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare)
  • 8.8.8.8 (Google)

This method avoids dependency on potentially problematic IPv6 DNS resolution while still keeping IPv6 otherwise enabled.

If the issue continues even after applying this workaround, we recommend generating a new fsdiag so we can investigate further.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help with any of the steps. We truly appreciate your feedback and your patience as we work to improve the product.

Thank you again, and have a lovely day.

I was too curious to see how it would work. VPN is now reconnected. 😉

I searched for it more extensively.

Thank you, I wouldn't have known if I hadn't asked here. Thank you for now.

If you have a better solution, do you have to change it again?❓️❓️

I have had major issues about two times this year. I am unable to establish whether it is just a router issues or combination of that with ISP services or even in combination with BOINC/Charity Engine-causing thrashing (slow or non exsistent loading of tabs, pages, trouble logging in to facilities, spinning downloading of F-secure updates before a scan, trouble at establishing F-secure VPN and also trouble opening desktop apps and browsers). Also periods of time when I seem to be told that I have www. services and other times that I do not (soft booting of router and/or ISP gateway seems to help, somewhat, but not all of the time), sometimes it seems that I have downloading and not uploading and sometimes it seems the opposite.

So, I had my Netgear router set to deliver logs to my email and that stopped functioning on 22 May 2025. I did not reestablish the functionality of logs until 11 Oct. 2025 when my PC came to thrashing again and I felt that a factory reset of the router should be tried before installing new router. Factory reset seems to have helped. What are some essential setup parameters of routers that would aide F-secure?

How does one isolate the problem to eliminate or find as to BOINC or ISP services or F-secure services or constant DoS attacks on my PC / router ports, as the issue(s)?
