Troubleshoot connection issues (Apple iOS)

If you're experiencing any sort of connection/speed issues with our Apple iOS application, please try each of the troubleshooting solutions provided below.

Solution 1

The first thing we suggest is to try connecting to our Los Angeles, California location.

5

Tap Allow, and then try connecting to our servers again.

Solution 3

If you're using WiFi, this might be an issue with Apple’s iOS. They have a WiFi issue that interferes with VPN connections.

One solution is to use the Reset Network Settings option:

1

From your device's Home screen, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.

2

Tap Reset Network Settings.

3

If prompted, enter your passcode, then tap Reset Network Settings again.

If you are still unable to connect after trying each of the above options, it is likely you have some sort of anti-virus or firewall that is blocking the connection.

Please disable any firewall/anti-virus software and see if that allows you to connect. If it does, you will need to add VirtualShield to the Allowed/Excluded Apps section of your firewall.
