Asked By TechieGamer99 On

I recently installed a VPN on my computer but decided to uninstall it thinking it was causing my internet connection issues. Now, even after uninstalling the VPN, I'm not able to access the internet on any device. I've tried connecting with a hotspot, using other WiFi devices, and have reset both my network settings and my computer and router, but nothing seems to work. What can I do to get my internet connection back?

First things first, can you ping your router? That can help confirm if the local connection is fine. If you’re able to ping successfully, it means your computer can reach the router which is a good sign.

Make sure you check your network settings as well. Sometimes, when you use certain VPNs, they can disable IPv6. If you uninstalled the VPN, ensure that the IPv6 option is checked in your Ethernet settings, especially if you were using a VPN that had a feature to prevent IPv6 leaks.
