Step by step.

  1. If the app has said Connecting for a long time, press the button to stop.
  2. Open Safari and load a website, to check your internet works without Orli VPN. If it doesn’t, try another Wi-Fi network or mobile data.
  3. Press the button in Orli VPN again, and wait for Protected.
  4. Still not connected? Tap the location at the bottom of the screen and choose another country.
  5. Press the button again.

If the internet stops while you’re connected.

While Orli VPN is on, your whole connection goes through it. If websites stop loading while it says Protected or Connecting, press the button to disconnect, then connect again.

If a red message appears.

It says what happened and what to try. Tap Try again if it offers it. If it shows a Reference, tap Email support. The email it writes holds only that reference, which helps us find the problem.
