VPN does not connect
VPN does not connect
Possible causes and solutions:
- No internet connection. Make sure your device is connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data without VPN.
- Server temporarily unavailable. Try switching to a different server in the app. We recommend servers in the Netherlands — the largest cluster with high availability.
- Outdated configuration (Happ on Windows and Intel Macs). Remove the current configuration from Happ and re-import the subscription link from the dashboard.
- Outdated app version. Update the app to the latest version via the App Store, Google Play, or the official website.
- Network-level blocking. If you are on a corporate or restricted network, try connecting via mobile data.

What to try:
- Switch servers. Choose the geographically closest server. For users in Russia and CIS countries, we recommend Finland, Latvia, or Lithuania.
- Check your base speed. Disconnect the VPN and check your internet speed. If it is low — the problem is on your ISP’s side.
- Restart the connection. Disconnect the VPN, wait a few seconds, and reconnect.
- Avoid busy servers. If one server is slow, try another in the same country.

Solutions by platform:
- iPhone and iPad: Make sure you have iOS 15 or later. Try deleting and reinstalling the app.
- Mac: Maximum X runs on Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) and macOS 12 or later. On Intel Macs, use Happ. If the system blocks the launch, go to Settings -> Privacy & Security -> allow the launch.
- Android: Clear the app cache (Settings -> Apps -> Maximum VPN -> Clear cache). Reinstall if needed.
- Windows (Happ): Make sure you have Windows 10 or later. Run the installer as administrator. Check if your antivirus is blocking the app.
