ANSWERED Checking route IPv4...

[GraveBride 1]

I just paid for this VPN on a recommendation after some issues with the last one I was using, but I'm unable to connect to any server because I always get stuck on Checking route IPv4 for a while before it fails and tries to connect to a new server before inevitably running into the same issue. I've seen from searching that I've far from the only person to encounter this problem, but even after reading several threads I've failed to really find a solution to this problem that actually works for me. I've never had a problem like this with any other VPN I've tried so I'm at a bit of a loss right now.

Hello!

From here:

it's plausible that UDP is blocked. Please make sure that no packet filtering tool in the router blocks UDP.

If the problem persists, please try a connection in TCP (OpenVPN, protocol TCP, entry-IP addtress 3, port 443) and check what happens. You can change connection mode in Eddie's "Preferences" > "Protocols" window. Uncheck "Automatic", select the line with the mentioned connection mode (the line will be highlighted), click "Save" and test again connections.

Kind regards

I was having the same problem. I tried manually setting the port to one that said TCP and that fixed it!

A switch to Windows 11 and the problems started.  This being the main one.  The attempts at switching to Wireguard all failed.  This one worked.  Perfectly.  Thank you.
