FAQs and Troubleshooting
FastestVPN Windows App includes IKEv2, WireGuard, OpenVPN (TCP, UDP) protocols. You can also set up FastestVPN with PPTP, L2TP and OpenConnect/ SSL protocols using the manual setup option.
FastestVPN Windows App includes:
- Internet Kill Switch
- Split Tunneling
- Adblocker Switch
- VPN Protocols Fallback Feature
- Launch at startup
- Minimize on startup launch
- Smart Connect configuration
- Redial automatically if connection drops
- Auto-connect after launch
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”.
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 IKEv2 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.
