No internet access after removing free VPN software

I installed a VPN product, and after trialling it, uninstalled it - but now I can’t access internet at all. It’s not the wifi, as even on pair to iPhone can’t get online. I’ve tried flushing DNS and other things, but still no luck. Somewhere in my system the VPN software is blocking connections, but I can’t find anything - please help!

This is going to be hard to troubleshoot without a lot more information.


Which VPN software?

Did you use their uninstaller? or try to remove it yourself?

Have you checked their support site for options?


The chances are there is some residual setting that's trying to use their VPN setup. There is simply no way to tell you exactly what to do with the information provided.
