This page is to inform our users of any known issues with the VyprVPN service. The latest service status updates and announcements are listed first.
VyprVPN Discontinues Active Support for PPTP
June 2, 2023
Sadly, the VPN world has moved on from PPTP, and the once-popular VPN protocol is no longer considered secure. For that reason we have chosen to discontinue active support for the PPTP protocol on our server backend. This decision will free up our technology teams to focus on the future of VPN, rather than being stuck in the past.
This doesn't mean you can't use PPTP protocol anymore - but it does unfortunately mean that we will be severely limited in being able to assist with PPTP connection issues, and we will in many cases recommend using more modern VPN protocols, such as Wireguard or OpenVPN.
VyprVPN Login Issue
Update (9:30 AM CST): This issue is resolved. Please log out and back into the VyprVPN app if you are still unable to connect.
April 6, 2023
We are currently investigating an issue causing some customers to be unable to log into the VyprVPN app or establish a connection when logged in.
Antivirus False Positives
April 11, 2022
Many antivirus systems, including Windows Defender, Norton, Avira, and others, are falsely flagging VyprVPN and other VPN services as potential threats.
Please rest assured that the VyprVPN application contains no malicious code, and will not harm your devices in any way. You can safely set your security software to ignore VyprVPN, and continue using the service regularly.
We have submitted reports to many antivirus organizations to correct this as soon as possible.
Contacting Support In-App
November 18, 2021
Update (9:00 PM CST): This has been resolved, and customers can successfully contact support from the VyprVPN app.
November 18, 2021
We are currently investigating an issue with the in-app Contact Support and Report A Bug functions. The app may show that it has successfully sent the request, but we are currently not receiving these on our end.
Until this is resolved, please use our Contact Support page or email us directly at support@vyprvpn.com
