Hi, issue was respolved.

Was using open vpn added as wireguard connections, this seemingly messed something up altogether.

Just changed them to openvpn designation and all is fine.

Thank you.

  @SunshineUsing a VPN for home network has completely boosted my streaming stability and privacy. Pairing it with the cheapest IPTV UK service gives the best value — fast, secure, and totally buffer-free entertainment!

1. A successful case of resolving the issue of being unable to connect to the VPN server by reinstalling the VPN client software on the computer with an administrator account and modifying the router's time settings:

2. A case where the OpenVPN client was continuously stuck on "connecting" when trying to connect to Proton VPN. Later, the customer confirmed that the Proton account password couldn't be used for devices other than the Proton App. Once they found the correct VPN account credentials, the issue was resolved.

3. A successful case where both the OpenVPN Server and OpenVPN Client functions were enabled, the VPN subnet conflict resulted in the VPN Client showing as connected, yet the clients with VPN permissions were unable to access the internet. The issue was resolved by modifying the VPN subnet for one of them.

4. Failed to import Wireguard VPN configuration file because the fields in the Wireguard VPN configuration file were not very standardized, check standardized WireGuard VPN configuration file here: Wireguard VPN Client file upload fail
