Microsoft Defender VPN fails to connect

Question

I am unable to connect to the Microsoft Defender VPN despite having an active ongoing Microsoft 365 Subscription. The Privacy Protection option fails to stay on, I continuously get an error in the VPN section stating to wait a few minutes and try again after the Microsoft Defender VPN fails to connect.

There is no Defender VPN server name or address given for me to use in the Add VPN option in my Network VPN settings.

Answer 1

Hello,

Please refer to the information in the link below:

MS Defender VPN won't successfully turn on. - Microsoft Q&A

Also please check subscription status. Verify if your Microsoft 365 subscription is active and if the VPN service is indeed included in your subscription plan. Ensure that your Windows OS, Microsoft 365 apps, and any associated services are up to date. Sometimes, known issue can be fixed with an update.
