FAQ & Troubleshooting

Q: How does LifeVPN free up my Internet?
A: Our service creates a secured VPN tunnel between your computer and our servers, then forwards all of your internet traffic through this link. See the below diagram...

Q: Where are LifeVPN servers located?
A: Our VPN servers are located in multiple datacenters in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the only region of China with high speeds connections to mainland China and rest of the world without Internet restrictions.

Q: I can browse most websites but I cannot browse some websites like facebook. What should I do?
A: If using MS-Windows, try clear DNS cache (you must have administrator right), click "Start->Run..." then type

ipconfig /flushdns

click "OK", and try go to facebook. If still not working, change DNS server of your Local Area Connection and/or Wireless Network Connection to some free public DNS servers such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, then reconnect LifeVPN. Click here for detailed instruction.

Q: When I use PPTP, I got an Error 619, VPN tunnel cannot be established, what should I do?
A: Make sure your personal firewall and router allow GRE and PPTP VPN passthrough, perhaps temporary turn off your personal firewall and try again.

Send email to us, we will tell you the IP addresses.

Q: When I use PPTP, I got an Error 800, Unable to establish the VPN connection, what should I do?
A: Make sure your personal firewall and router allow GRE and PPTP VPN passthrough, perhaps temporary turn off your personal firewall and try again.
If still cannot connect after turning off the personal firewall, change DNS server address in Local Area Connection and/or Wireless Network Connection of your PC to some free public DNS servers such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Then try again.
If problem persist, replace server name in your VPN configuration with IP address of our server instead of the server name we gave you. Send email to us, we will tell you the IP addresses.
If problem still not solved, you possibly in a place behind a firewall does not allow VPN tunnel pass-thru. In this case, you should use SSL (OpenVPN).
