Free TC is not working for me - I have it on an iPod, a Windows PC and a Mac, and it has worked on all 3 in the past. Now it seems that the server is not responding in some way. Here is the log from the Windows PC:

On the Mac (using TunnelBlick instead of TrustConnect), I get this error:

Finally, on th eiPod, I simply get a pop-up message:

The PPTP-VPN server did nor respond.

My credentials are all correct, I get the same response from several different wi-fi networks, so what is wrong?

2

Temporarily issue with a free service for iPod client was fixed. Please try to connect again.

It’s kind of ridiculous - now my two laptops are able to connect, but my iPod is still on-and-off. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

4

I am sure it will be sorted out, if there are further problems, after all it’s a FREE service they are offering so are allowed a minor set back now and again, they never take long to get it sorted asap anyway.

:wink:

5

Access via PPTP protocol for free service has been checked and there were no problems detected. Doesn’t your Wi-Fi connection break for some reason?

My 2 cents …
The same problem ( disconnection after 40 seconds ).
I had this problem with a Virtual Machine running IE8 …
I solved it using an older VM with IE6 … even if in this case Default Gateway is not assigned automatically ( I put it manually … )
My connection sometimes experiences some up and down …
