Something to think about→Don't use VPN services. · GitHub


The intended purpose of VPN is to allow access to a private network such as a school or business when you are not on site. Any other use is risky, and can lead to problems like the one discussed in this thread. VPN disguises your location by making you appear to be somewhere else in the world. But you can’t control that “somewhere else”, and if it is in a location that an app isn’t approved for the app won’t work. Plus the fact that the provider of the VPN knows everything about you and your location, as well as what sites you access through the VPN. So you are totally dependent on the VPN provider’s honesty. As a start, if the VPN is free, DON’T USE IT. The provider has to make money somehow, and if you aren’t paying them then they are selling you to make money. But even those that charge can’t necessarily be trusted.

I tried all the various suggestions

1) deleted vpn

2) reset network settings

3) automatic date

etc

and the obvious turn on / off flight mode, turned off / on device …


in the end it was just that on Mobile Data the apps with the problem were not enabled.


my conclusion- if you are having the issue on WiFi, check the VPN. If on cellular m, check Mobile Data to see if your app is turned on.

Tried all the things people have mentioned in the posts.. VPN disconnect/removal looks to fix most of the problems

but I recently changed network provider and have two SIM cards. 1 with a number awaiting transfer in a week and my current number.

Tried the new Sim everything worked except Golf Battle 'no internet connection', put my current Sim back in, all worked?

Did the same again, exactly the same glitch.

I've removed my VPN and order a new sim, hoping this fixes it????

I had the same problem, some apps worked others said I wasn't connected to the internet, none of my email adresses worked, etc... But after a week of searching for answers I found out that I had an old VPN I'd forgotten about that looked like it was bugging (the on/off switch in the VPN settings was twitching) so i deleted the VPN and now my mac runs perfectly!

Remove any add-on VPN apps and add-on “security” apps, restart the iPhone, and try again.


Failing that, restart your W-iFi router, and try again.


Failing that, remove the app, restart the iPhone, and reload the app, and try again.


Failing that, contact the app support folks.
