Hello, My name's mary

and i've been having an issue with all VPNs in my Laptop, ALL of them do NOT work for some reason.

Basically, i tried these VPNS:

  • Planet VPN
  • Turbo VPN
  • Proton VPN
  • TunnelBear VPN
  • Many More. . .

and They all had the same issue.

they either fail to connect or Say that i connected Successfully but It does not work.

I've tried many tutorials on youtube but none of them worked, how do i fix this issue?

    Hello, Thanks for replying and trying to help me,

    but unfortunately the problem still remains.

    Example image #1

    Image

    context: in this image you see PROTON VPN Trying to connect to a server, however it failed.
it tried to connect to the VPN server thingy but it failed, the VPN Tried connecting to
Europe - [France / England], Asia - [Japan / some others idk] NorthAmerica - [USA / Canada]
And the VPN Program is constantly Trying to Connect to Different servers After the other 
fails to connect, which means it will try Connecting to random servers until the connection
successfully initialize. in that case it will continue "Trying" to connect to servers
and fail at the end.

just for information, i tried all those vpns again.

    thanks again for trying to help me.

    is there anything else I can do?
