Having this same issue. I raised a ticket and sent them the necessary info. Waiting on some reply. The connections are all really inconsistent and slow (I get like 200+ ping on a VPN from my home country! wut?). This update definitely broke plenty of things, they're probably aware of it but I haven't seen any official communication on the issues. I recall someone mentioned here even DNS servers are borked, so I guess this update was just rushed and broke so many things. Hopefully something comes up, since this used to be such a reliable and fast VPN compared to so many on the market for me.

see this image never connect since Friday, its over for me, first time in my life see company doing to herself, on behalf of all customers and the good long gone Kaspersky vpn let me say fu to the ones responsible for this stupid update, thanks kaspersky vpn for the good old days, Sayonara.

I can see from the forum that many people have issues with the new update. None of the current threads address my issue, so here's yet another tale of woe. I recently received an update to the VPN service on 3 of my computers. Two of those computers are windows based and still work after the update - albeit with a reduced feature set. The final computer is a 2017 15 inch MacBook Pro which is only used to view media. This computer can no longer connect to the VPN at all. I was advised to remove and redownload the application, but the new version of the application is listed on the app store as only working with MacOS14+ and this MacBook is not compatible with any OS above 13. The support page ( https://www.kaspersky.co.uk/vpn-secure-connection#systemrequirements|vpn ) still lists the application as working on MacOS13+, but the old application could no longer connect and I cannot download the new application. Am I just completely out of luck here? I don't really want to go out and pay for another VPN unless I really have to.

Hello @v.chandrakanth, Welcome! *Also* which region are you located in? From Kaspersky's @Danila T.: This is likely due to an update of the VPN infrastructure. All VPN users will see a new agreement in the app which they need to accept. The number of available VPN servers will change from ~105 to ~85, most common servers will remain. The router feature, protocol selection and dual VPN options will disappear. We’re continuing to expand coverage and add new features in upcoming updates.

Hello , Since the last update ( November ) of Kaspersky VPN where most of the region were greyed / not supported anymore , my VPN started to act weirdly. I have actually Kaspersky Premium ( 1 device / 1 year ) so I have unlimited VPN , so here are my problems : - VPN keeps disconnecting for no reason , no matter the country because I tried several different ones and the issue is still the same . - Each time the VPN tries to reconnect , it keeps creating a new Local Area Connection (WG Nt Adapter) , now it's the 73rd time it has created a new Local Area Connection. - The VPN interface is slow to react when I turn off the VPN the grey switch slider thing takes like 5 sec to turn off or sometimes I have to minimize the interface for it to be effective. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thanks.

the VPN on Android no longer works since the new Kaspersky protocol update of November 29, 2025. Thank you to the other VPN clients on Android to leave a message if you encounter the same problem.

Was mir zu schaffen macht ist,dass Kaspersky die neusten Version Update bei VPN nicht geprüft hat und einem bei Android aufspielt,so geht's doch nicht.

@User23837 I found your troubleshooting post very helpful. It essentially mirrors my own and helps confirm that the issue is universal. Kaspersky VPN works for me most of the time these days, so it's working. There are the odd hiccup, like not being able to access YouTube and some other sites, and my fastest server is on the other side of the world, but it's still much better. Integrating PureVPN's systems with Kaspersky Lab's has obviously become somewhat challenging, but on the plus side, PureVPN has a very good privacy policy. We do NOT store any logs that could identify your activity or help track it. We do this to prevent PureVPN from sharing information, even if we were forced to. The update is expected to fully stabilize within the next few days. https://www.purevpn.com/privacy-policy.php

Same problem here, program in PC was working fine! I guess in my cellphone also worked without problems, today not working! Any country. I already update the app and still... Program version - 21.23.6.614-2 Microsoft Windows 11 Professional x64 Build 22621

Ja, danke für die Antwort , im englischen Forum wird schon getobt vor Ärgernis . Das vorletzte Update war noch saugut, stolz wurde noch erwähnt , wir haben unser Server deutlich verbessert, sprich Download , Upload Speed, und jetzt, lächerlich, alles gute ist weg, zufällig ist nächsten Monat mein Abo beendet, was ich verlängern wollte, naja, da warten wir erstmal ab, so geht es gar nicht. Es geht doch 100% mal wieder um Kohle zu sparen, das wird der Konzern bald merken, wenn die User sich jetzt andere Anbieter suchen , und das mit Recht.

Hallo, nach dem Update sind alle Favoritenserver weg, nur noch 86 da, kein DOUBLE VPN mehr und auch die anderen Funktionen wie privater DNS, Trackingschutz etc. sind weg, dazu ist die Downloadgeschwindigkeit auf die Hälfte reduziert, über das Update hatte ich schon im englischen Forum gerade gelesen, ist für mich eine Frechheit. Soll das so bleiben ???????????????, dann mal frohe Weihnacht, dann kann man ja gleich zur Freeware greifen. Wird wohl bei Nichtänderung ein neuer Provider gesucht. Da gibt es ja genug.

Hello, I too have the same problem with the last VPN update of November 29, 2025. there are also no more game servers that have been deleted and only Torrent servers remain. If Kaspersky does not put in place the same protocols, I do not think I will remain a customer with them. I think and am certain that many Kaspersky VPN users will not continue to be customers in this way.

Im extremely pissed with this new update. Im forced to work from a very strict public wifi, which blocked many ports. With this VPN I used to have a fast and reliable connection to work with, now I can NOT even CONNECT to the VPN anymore because they removed the ability to select the protocols. The product is literally no longer usable for me after the update. This update has to be illegal.

SAME HERE, IT'S NOT WORKING FOR ALMOST 2 DAYS SINCE THE NEW UPDATE. I ACCCEPTED THE NEW TERMS AND THE MIGRATIONS WHICH WAS UNCLEAR EXPLAINED.

I thought I'm alone very disappointed, very angry, what this stupid update, I was happy with the old version now what no gaming server no choice to chose protocols it's even not working since yesterday i lost 10 hours to fix the stupidity of someone and still on it, how much stupid can you get, ask the one made this very much more so stupid update. I don't even think the kaspersky customer care service care for our feedback but i must say it for the records, For years i had been a customer to kaspersky vpn and security if the issue is not resolved, it's a Sayonara.

Like others I have spent hours on this issue, as a working VPN is critical to my security posture, and like others (User23837) I have found no solution because there IS NO solution. This is a problem with the updated VPN itself, not the configuration of our systems. I filed a support ticket after 3 days and the day after that the VPN just randomly started working again without any change of state to my systems PROVING that no amount of tinkering by the user will ever solve this problem. I then received the email from Kaspersky (below). And cancelled my support ticket. A few hours later the problems reappeared. It is up to Kaspersky to either promptly fix this issue for ALL users or make the difficult decision to ROLL BACK the update to provide a reliable and stable VPN service for all users until the developers can work out where they went wrong. And this comes from an absolute Kaspersky loyalist having used their software for nearly a decade without a single breach of my systems security. This affair now significantly increases the potential for such a breach. "We are currently performing technical maintenance that may temporarily affect VPN performance. Some users may notice reduced speed, difficulty accessing certain locations, the app switching to Free mode instead of an active subscription, or short periods of service unavailability. We’re already working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible." - Kaspersky
