No internet, with or without PryVPN

If PryVPN says your Wi-Fi or mobile data has no internet, the problem is the network itself. Here's how to check and what to try.

Updated

PryVPN checks your network before blaming anything else. When it says “Your Wi-Fi has no internet right now. This isn't the VPN.”, both Android and PryVPN found that the network doesn't reach the internet.

  1. Tap Disconnect and open a website. If it doesn't load either, the network is the problem.
  2. Turn airplane mode on and off, or turn Wi-Fi off to try mobile data.
  3. At home, restart the router. On mobile data, check that mobile data is on and that you have data left.
  4. On Wi-Fi in a hotel, café or airport, you may have to sign in first: Wi-Fi login pages.

Meanwhile PryVPN waits, with the tunnel closed. It connects on its own when the network is back, and it doesn't switch servers because of a problem that isn't the server's.

Weak signal

If PryVPN shows Weak signal, your network works but is losing a lot of data, for example far from the router, in a lift or on a train. PryVPN doesn't switch servers because of it. Move closer to the router or wait for a better signal.

If websites load without PryVPN but not with it, the network may be blocking VPNs: see Networks that block VPNs.
