Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If you’re having trouble connecting to CompassVPN, try these common solutions:

  1. Switch between connection types: If one configuration doesn’t work, try another one from your server
  2. Check your network restrictions: Some networks may block VPN traffic - try using a CDN-proxied connection
  3. Verify your credentials: Ensure your configuration link is correct and hasn’t expired
  4. Update your client: Older client versions may have compatibility issues with the server

Security Recommendations

To maintain a secure connection:

  1. Keep your client updated: Regularly update your VPN client application
  2. Don’t share your configuration: Your VPN configuration is personal and should not be shared
  3. Use secure DNS: Most clients allow setting custom DNS servers for additional privacy
