VPN Proxy Master not working? Common causes and what to check
3 things to check, built from what VPN Proxy Master publishes about its apps, protocols and support. We do not test connections ourselves.
What to check
Switch protocol in the app: VPN Proxy Master lists OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP/IPsec, Shadowsocks.
If the network blocks VPNs, turn on obfuscation (partial (V2Ray offered for firewall bypass; review table says no obfuscation)…).
Contact support: live chat, email.

We do not test connections ourselves, so the tips below rely on what VPN Proxy Master publishes about its apps and on third-party reviews. A weak spot is visible in advance: the service's censorship bypass scores 2.9 out of 10, so failures are expected on networks where VPNs are filtered.
Switch protocols first
The app offers OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP/IPsec, SSR and V2Ray; WireGuard is not available. If the connection won't come up or keeps dropping, switch from OpenVPN to IKEv2 or back. When the network itself blocks the VPN (an office, a hotel, some countries), try V2Ray: the company offers it for getting past firewalls. The top10vpn review found no separate obfuscation mode, and in its tests the app was blocked in China.
Check settings and limits
The kill switch cuts off the entire internet when the tunnel drops, and from the outside it looks like a network failure. Before turning off protection, reconnect to a different server. One subscription covers 10 devices at the same time, and split tunneling is available only in the paid version.
The site does not publish the limits of the free version. A third-party review gives both 500 MB of traffic and unlimited data on mobile, so if the free app suddenly stops connecting, check whether your traffic has run out.
Where to get help
There is a live chat on the website, but the service does not say it runs around the clock. Email support answers 24/7, and the help center at support.vpnproxymaster.com is in English only. The service does not mention a server status page. If blocks are a constant problem for you, take a look at VPNs with obfuscation and services with VLESS and Reality.
