\u201cConnected\u201d but nothing loads?\n      <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n      Because the encrypted tunnel can be active while DNS lookups are timing out or failing, which prevents sites\/apps from resolving addresses.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-question\">\n      Does this mean my VPN is broken?\n      <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n      Not necessarily. In many cases the VPN connection is active, but DNS resolution is temporarily degraded.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-question\">\n      Can DNS issues affect my privacy?\n      <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n      DNS is part of privacy, which is why leak protection matters. A well-designed VPN experience aims to keep DNS requests aligned with protected routes and prevent unintended fallback to ISP resolvers.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-question\">\n      Will DNS resilience improve soon?\n      <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n      Yes \u2014 DNS stability improves as regional redundancy, load balancing, and fallback systems are expanded and tuned.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-question\">\n      How often does DNS routing change?\n      <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n      DNS paths may be tuned as part of ongoing network optimization. The intent is to improve stability, especially during congestion or regional demand spikes.\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-question\">\n      Should I change DNS settings manually?\n      <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n      Usually no. Manual DNS changes can sometimes conflict with VPN routing behavior. If support recommends a temporary adjustment for diagnosis, follow that guidance \u2014 otherwise it\u2019s best to keep default settings.\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n  document.querySelectorAll('.faq-question').forEach(question => {\n    question.addEventListener('click', () => {\n      const item = question.parentElement;\n      const answer = question.nextElementSibling;\n      item.classList.toggle('active');\n\n      if (answer.style.display === 'block') {\n        answer.style.display = 'none';\n      } else {\n        document.querySelectorAll('.faq-answer').forEach(ans => ans.style.display = 'none');\n        document.querySelectorAll('.faq-item').forEach(it => it.classList.remove('active'));\n        item.classList.add('active');\n        answer.style.display = 'block';\n      }\n    });\n  });\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your VPN says \u201cConnected\u201d but websites and apps won\u2019t load, it\u2019s frustrating \u2014 and it can feel like the VPN isn\u2019t working.
