I am writing this post to seek assistance with a connecting problem I am facing while using the VPN in my Intel Evo i7 laptop [https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/faqs/intel/intel-evo-platform/]. I am currently working on a project. Meanwhile, my wifi connections got very slow, so I tried to connect a VPN but was unable to do so with my laptop.
I have tried the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:
Make sure you have the correct VPN settings. Double-check that you have the correct VPN settings, including the server address, username, and password. Contact your VPN provider if you're not sure.
Check your network connection. Make sure your laptop is connected to the internet and that your network connection is stable. If you're using Wi-Fi, try moving closer to your router or connecting with an Ethernet cable.
Check your firewall settings. Your firewall might be blocking your VPN connection. Make sure your firewall is configured to allow the VPN connection.
Update your drivers: Make sure your laptop's network drivers are up-to-date. You can check for updates in the Device Manager or by visiting the manufacturer's website.
Try a different VPN client: If you're still having trouble connecting to the VPN, try using a different VPN client. There are many free and paid VPN clients available, so try a few to see which one works best for you.
But the problem is still here.
Anyone have any idea please share the suggestion.
Thank you for your time.

Hey there! It sounds like you’ve already done a solid job troubleshooting—nice work covering all the basics.
Since you're still having issues, it might actually be the VPN service or client itself. I had a similar problem on my Intel-based laptop, and what worked for me was switching to a more stable and lightweight VPN client. I’ve been using TurisVPN recently—it’s free, fast, and super easy to set up, even on newer laptops like yours. Plus, it offers clean IPs and strong connection stability, which might help resolve the issue with your current setup.
You can try installing a free vpn such as TurisVPN . choose a nearby server, and see if the connection improves. It works well even when my home Wi-Fi is acting up, and I’ve had no issues on my Evo-powered laptop so far.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you give it a shot.
