   2. Tap VPN Settings and then VPN Protocol
   3. Change the protocol to IPsec or IKEv2

   5. Return to the main screen and connect to a server location
3. If the above does not work, please restart your device:
   1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the side of your device until the red slider appears
   2. Drag the slider to the right to turn your iOS device off
   3. After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo
