The main reasons why Google VPN cannot connect

After testing and user feedback, the most direct reason is the region where the forward proxy node you selected is located.Nodes in these four regions, including the United States, Japan, and China's Hong Kong and Taiwan, are very likely to cause connection failures when used as Google VPN front-end proxies.

Solution 1: Change the country of the forward proxy node

If you have previously used nodes in the above four regions, the easiest solution is to change the country of your forward proxy node. According to our tests,SingaporeIt is a relatively stable and effective choice.

Operation demonstration:

  1. Make sure your front-end proxy application (such as Sing-box, V2rayN, Clash, etc.) is connected to the Singapore node.
  2. Open the Google VPN app.
  3. Try connecting to Google VPN.

Through the demonstration, we can see that after switching the front proxy to the Singapore node, Google VPN is successfully connected, and the IP address is displayed as a Google IP in Singapore. In terms of speed, in a 5G network environment, after connecting to Google VPN, it can reach more than 300 Mbps, which is sufficient for daily use.

Solution 3: Clear Google VPN cache and force close

When Google VPN has connection issues, clearing its cache and force closing and restarting it can often resolve some temporary issues.

  1. Open the Google VPN app. (If Google VPN cannot be opened at this time, you can connect to your forward proxy first)
  2. Check the notification bar: Find the Google VPN notification in your notification bar.
  3. Click on the notification: Click on the Google VPN notification and you may see options such as "Storage & cache" and "Force stop" (different Android versions may be slightly different, here we take the English system as an example, it shows "Storage & cache" and "Force stop").
  4. Clear the cache: Click on "Storage & cache" and select "Clear cache".
  5. Force stop: Go back one level and click "Force stop".
  6. Reconnect: Close the Google VPN app, then reopen it and try connecting.

  2. Replace the front-end proxy software: Try using a different front-end proxy app.
