FAQs and Troubleshooting

FastestVPN Windows App includes IKEv2, L2TP, PPTP, and OpenVPN (TCP, UDP) protocols. You can also set up FastestVPN via OpenConnect/ SSL protocol using the OpenConnect App.

FastestVPN Windows App includes:

  • Internet Kill Switch
  • Split Tunneling
  • Launch at Startup
  • Redial automatically if connection drops
  • Auto-connect after launch
  • Disconnect the VPN on App exit

If your VPN gets disconnected for some reason, Internet Kill Switch will block all the outgoing/ incoming online traffic. As a result, your actual IP address will not have an accidental exposure to the outside world. Once the kill switch blocks the internet traffic, you’ll be presented with two options by the FastestVPN App. The first one would be to “Reconnect VPN” and the second, “Unblock your internet without the VPN connection”.

 

Using the split tunneling feature on the FastestVPN Windows app, you can allow any website(s) to bypass the VPN. Let’s say you do not want a particular website(s) to run over the VPN, then add its domain name to the Split tunneling option. Then, it will run over your actual internet connection and all other traffic will go through the FastestVPN connection.

For connectivity issues, follow these steps:

  • Log out of the FastestVPN app and log in again.
  • Go to the app settings and choose another protocol such as UDP or TCP and then make a connection attempt.
  • If it doesn’t work, select another server location.
  • If the issue persists, connect to our 24/7 live support team.
