Troubleshooting

Quick checks for Windows client behavior.

Primary Checks

curl.exe -s https://cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace | findstr /R "^(ip|colo)="
Resolve-DnsName google.com
curl.exe -I https://www.google.com/generate_204
Get-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "VPN Transparent" -AddressFamily IPv4
Invoke-RestMethod http://127.0.0.1:19090/connections | Select-Object downloadTotal,uploadTotal

HTTPS, DNS, public IP, and local controller counters are better success signals than ping or tracert.

Expected Behavior

The engine runs in the background with no visible console window. The tray icon starts when you sign in; if Windows is still loading, it appears once the notification area is ready.

The tray shows Connecting until the path is confirmed, then Connected. Connect and disconnect briefly reset active connections, so applications reconnect on the correct path within a moment. A normal disconnect does not show an error window.

Logs

C:\ProgramData\VPN Transparent\client.log
C:\ProgramData\VPN Transparent\engine.log
C:\ProgramData\VPN Transparent\traffic.json

White List Issues

Put one entry per line when possible. Semicolon, comma, and whitespace separators are also accepted.

After saving, reconnect if the application requests it or if a direct-routed service still goes through the VPN.

Uninstall

Use Windows Apps and Features, or the Start menu uninstall shortcut created by the installer.
