Bitdefender Premium VPN not connecting

Bitdefender Premium VPN (2019) not connecting to any servers, even when I choose Automatic location.

My subscription is not expired. (Over 200 days left in my subscription.) I also checked my Central account, and it shows my Bitdefender Premium VPN is activated.

I put in a ticket. Hoping someone on the forum has advice.

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. I literally just bought the service 2 days ago. This is ridiculous.

Hey. I had to go through a bunch of options but I fixed the issue. I'll copy paste the email they sent to help me. But I really think you should just reset your modem first. I went through all these options and it didn't do anything for me.

Good Luck!

4yelhsa,

Thank you so much for your posts and the options. I will reset my modem and try the other steps if that doesn't work.

When you say reset my modem, do you mean reset to factory settings, or do you mean restart?

I'll try to restart first.

I'll let you know if and how I got it to work.

Thanks!
