Hello Oussama,
If your VPN is not starting at startup, even though you have set it to start automatically, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that you can try:
Check your VPN settings: Make sure that you have configured your VPN correctly and have set it to start automatically at startup. Double-check your VPN's settings to ensure that there are no issues.
Check your startup programs: Check your computer's startup programs to see if your VPN is listed there. If it's not, add it to the startup list manually.
Reinstall your VPN: Uninstall your VPN and reinstall it to see if that resolves the issue. Make sure to download the latest version of your VPN from the official website.
Check for conflicts with other programs: Sometimes, other programs or software can conflict with your VPN and prevent it from starting at startup. Try disabling other programs that may be conflicting with your VPN to see if that resolves the issue.
Contact your VPN provider: If none of the above steps work, contact your VPN provider's customer support team for assistance. They may be able to help you resolve the issue or provide you with additional troubleshooting steps.
In conclusion, if your VPN is not starting at startup, it can be a frustrating issue, but there are several steps you can take to resolve it. By following the steps above, you can troubleshoot the issue and get your VPN up and running automatically at startup.
