How to Fix VPN Error 800
Active internet users who value their privacy should invest in using a VPN. A good VPN service can help secure your connection and keep all online activity anonymous from shady websites that want to sell your private information to the highest bidder. They can also allow you to bypass some region-blocked websites and services if that’s something that interests you.
As great as a VPN is, they are not infallible. Sometimes a connection can fail, causing a 'Connection failed with error 800' to appear. What does this error mean?
If you see this error, it means that the VPN app installed on your Windows PC is unable to connect to the VPN service. The reason for this can be traced back to a few of the usual suspects, including the VPN app configuration, firewall complications, your internet connection, or the availability of the VPN server.
