VPN destroys itself

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

When I install VPN, it works great at first. After restarting the computer, it breaks. The UI is very slow and takes forever. I can't establish a connection either.

I also noticed that I no longer have the TAP-Windows Adapter. I've already tried reinstalling it, but to no avail.

I have the same problem on two different devices. So I assume that there might be something wrong with the VPN installer?

The live installer doesn't install the latest version of Total Security straight away either. That should happen with a live installer, shouldn't it?

And I don't know why, but VPN is using the expired license. In Central, however, I can see that it's installed with the new license. I've already contacted support.

This sounds similar. I don't have a Bitdefender adapter either. Could there be a bigger problem with VPN?

This is what it looks like fresh after installation (image from the help):

This is what it looks like after a restart:

No settings are saved in VPN either and all languages are gone:

I've been trying a few things for several hours now. It just doesn't work.

Since I have the same behavior on two different computers, it can only be a problem with the software.

Until there is a solution, I will probably switch to another product to be on the safe side.

Since reinstalling the product hasn't resolved the issue, it's best to contact Bitdefender support for further assistance.

Kindly contact Bitdefender support by visiting https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/help

I'll wait until there's a new release and then I'll try again.

Bitdefender is uninstalled for now. Shame.

Hello @wheatfoxrabbit,

Since you mentioned you already contacted the Support teams, can you tell us if the engineers provided any updates on the case?

Thanks,

Alex

wheatfoxrabbit

Nothing so far. Unfortunately, I can't find my message to support at the moment.

Alexandru_BD

OK. Did you use the same email address to open the case, as the one registered on the forum? Because we can look for the ticket using that.

Cheers.

Alexandru_BD

Can I ask you to open a new ticket, please? Because we couldn't find any tickets related to the actual VPN issue you have reported. Or if you used a different email address and have a case number for that, kindly provide it to me so I can further check with the Support teams.

Thanks

wheatfoxrabbit

I read it again. The ticket was related to the license and not VPN. Sorry for the confusion.

I have now opened a ticket.

Alexandru_BD

Thank you!

wheatfoxrabbit

Still waiting for an answer. I'm excited about it.

Alexandru_BD

@wheatfoxrabbit did you get any updates on this?

Cheers

Maybe @Alexandru_BD can look up mine…….VPN problem started when BD released an update

Bitdefender Support ticket: 1009541122.

Hi @Pizon,

Based on my findings, it's a bug and the Support teams replied to you a few days ago saying that they will come back with updates. I've been informed that there is no news in the investigation, and the case has been forwarded to the developers.

Thanks

Pizon

yes, I received the email……….not very happy at this point.

It's taken 4 months for support to tell me this….I knew it was the VPN software the first week.

Instead, I just got passed around to different people. For a software company that does not keep previous versions that worked when they decide to do an update, so customers aren't without 4 to 6 MONTHS, maybe longer. I had to purchase another VPN(that works) from a different company. …IMO it's a very poor business practice.
