Message: "VPN connection error: VPN is having trouble connecting to the server..."

You may receive an error message when you try to connect to your VPN on your device. To fix this issue, read Unable to connect to VPN on my device.

This error is displayed if VPN fails to connect to the VPN server, which can be caused due to temporary problems with your network connection. To fix this problem, wait for some time and try connecting to VPN again.

If the issue persists, connect to a different VPN region.
