The VPN isn't connecting properly for you.
The VPN isn't connecting properly for you.
I occasionally use SoftEther VPN and it has stopped functioning recently. It displays a connection status and shows an IP address change, but other sites confirm otherwise. I've searched forums for solutions without success. Reinstalling the software didn't resolve the issue either. In Windows 10, network properties list a VPN client that appears disconnected. I'm feeling confused and would really appreciate guidance to get it working again.
I wouldn't rely on a free VPN, since it's hard to say how they're handling your information. They need to earn a living somehow... For suggestions, here are some options: NordVPN (https://nordvpn.com/) – I use it and find it versatile. PIA (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/) – Linus suggests it. ExpressVPN (https://www.expressvpn.com/) – Heard it works well too. Surfshark (https://surfshark.com/) – Newer, but speed is great. GooseVPN (https://goosevpn.com/) – Some positive feedback there as well. Overall, there are plenty of choices depending on your needs.
