## Troubleshooting

### Installer Issues

| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| **Windows SmartScreen warning** | Click "More info" then "Run anyway". This is normal for new software. |
| **"This app can't run on your PC"** | You may be on a 32-bit system. VaultLine VPN requires 64-bit Windows. |
| **Error 740 (elevation required)** | Right-click the installer and select "Run as administrator". |
| **Installer appears stuck** | WireGuard is being installed silently in the background. Wait 1-2 minutes. |
| **Antivirus blocks installer** | Temporarily disable real-time protection, install, then re-enable. |

### Connection Issues

| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| **"Invalid configuration" error** | Verify your `.conf` file has valid keys and endpoint. Check with your VPN admin. |
| **Connected but no internet** | Check the `DNS` line in your `.conf` file. Try `1.1.1.1` or `8.8.8.8`. |
| **Connection times out** | Verify the server endpoint and port are correct. Check your firewall settings. |
| **Handshake fails** | Your public key may not be registered on the server. Contact your VPN admin. |

### General

- **Logs location:** Check `%TEMP%\VaultLine_*.log` for installer logs.
- **WireGuard logs:** Open WireGuard application directly to view tunnel logs.
- **Reinstalling:** Uninstall first via Windows Settings > Apps, then run the installer again.
