Re: hotspotshield VPN - Can't establish VPN connection

First try ping www.hotspotshield.com If that works your connection to the internet is OK.

The one thing that jumped out from your post was:

Subscription valid until : Apr 04 2022

Has it previously worked for you? If so on what platforms? And is it still working?

Thanks you very much for replay! I sent a question to hotspot support but they can not answer anything intelligible.

Yes www.hotspotshield.com is pinging

On other devices(Windows, Android) all working good.
