PC can only connect to the internet when connected to a VPN

Planet_Icarus · May 7, 2015

I have had trouble connecting to the internet for a while now. I can connect to my router and it will display that I have internet access but, I can't connect to any websites. Only when I turn on my VPN, I am able to connect to websites. I'm not sure why my PC is like this. My operating system is Windows 7 by the way. I am using another computer to post this.

Are you using DHCP? What DNS are you using? It's possible that your DNS is only accessible while your connected to VPN.

How do I check that?

More than likely you have a VPN kill switch enabled. You will need to disable this setting in your VPN settings under the program you use for your VPN in order for internet to work while not on VPN.

Go to control panel, view list by small icons, then:

Internet Options>Connections Tab>LAN settings
Ensure this is set to auto detect instead of using a proxy. If it works, repeat for other browsers.
