**Detailed description of the behavior:
Hello, I use Brave VPN last month and already paid for subscription until January 27th 2021. But now I can’t enable the VPN (I found similar issues in this forum)
Can you help me fix this issue?**
I appear to have the same issue. At some point over the last week the VPN stopped auto-connecting. Setting connect on demand switch didn’t help. Attempts to connect never got beyond connecting… bc it would revert to disconnected. I deleted the vpn profile to attempt a reinstall. I now get the same error as reported in this post. I have other VPN profiles, like 1.1.1.1, which continue to work when I enable them. Problem appears to be specific to my Brave VPN. Please let me know how to resolve.
Hi !
My apology for these interruptions. We are investigating this issue as it appears to not clear upon our instructions to reset configuration and clear the cache.
Please open your Brave app and select
Settings > Brave Firewall + VPN > Contact Technical Support.
When the box opens, please be sure to select App Store Receipt so that we can review the subscription status. We want you to be connected as soon as possible and as consistently as possible.
Hi,
I do not see a contact support option under settings/ firewall & vpn. The only option is a dialogue to enable the vpn profile. When I click on that button, I get the error as described.
I did find and attempt so use the contact tech support option prior to deleting the vpn profile. I selected all options and clicked the button multiple times. Nothing ever happened. Eventually I force closes the app and deleted the profile in an attempt to start from a clean slate.

Since the install VPN profile page seems to be blocking you from the settings page, please send an email to “brave at guardianapp dot com” so that we can request some individual data in order to help resolve this issue. We do not specifically collect data from users so any details that can be shared directly will help us get to a full resolution.
Hi,
I am having exactly the same problem on my ipad, and I cannot send help to support because I have an error message.
Is it possible to help me?
Hello Maxm!
My apologies for this interruption of service and the hiccup of starting the VPN. The app might be stuck in a bad state at this time. Please delete the Brave browser app and then reinstall on your device.
Your subscription will not be affected by reinstalling. Your bookmarks will not be stored when you reinstall so be sure to sync to another device and then re-sync once you reinstall.
You should now be able to start a fresh connection with your device.
Hello,
I found the problem, the vpn in France (localization in France) no longer works.
Cleaning cash usually helps me to avoid this problem. I’m from the US and shouldn’t have such problems tbh. Anyway, I’m not the biggest fan of Brave VPN because it doesn’t provide any unique features compared with its alternatives. I prefer to use Brave Browser+ such VPNs as NordVPN or ExpressVPN. But sometimes I want to try smth else, so I visit bestvpnprovider.co where they post various reviews about vpn products. I find their info useful for the users, especially if you don’t know much about internet security.
