      Hi there @mt000000,
      to fix insufficient privileges issue you need to install .NET v.8.0.16 exactly, it cannot be any other version. You can find it on Microsoft website. Please remember to reboot your computer and then try updating the VPN Pro client again.

        Hi @daemonika

        That is an oddly specific version but it worked. I uninstalled the other .NET version and installed 8.0.16 and I was able to install VPN pro without getting the privileges error. Thank you.

        Here is the .NET version link: https://builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet/WindowsDesktop/8.0.16/windowsdesktop-runtime-8.0.16-win-x64.exe

          @mt000000 this solution worked for me as well, thank you for including the link to the version of .Net required.

          also, OMG WTF, Opera!

                  I'm paying for a VPN Pro subscription and the service doesn't work. It stopped working 2 or 3 days ago and nothing I do will get it working again.

                  Typically, there's no proper technical support, it's impossible to talk to a real human being to resolve the issue. All in all, deeply frustrating. I wont be renewing my subscription.

                    IThis is very frustrating. Plus, I recently renewed my subscription and I'm starting to suspect that no one will give me my money back.

                      YPN Pro no working for me either. On windows 10 or 11 and that is using .NET 8.0.16. It worked before the new version of VPN Pro came along

                        I did open a ticket and this the answer I received this morning:
                        Hi Giampiero,

                        Thank you for additional information.
                        There's likely nothing wrong with your device or settings. Based of the number of reports we've received recently, there's an ongoing issue at the moment. We're actively exploring all the potential causes, but we don't have specifics yet to share.
                        The issue was already escalated it to our Technical team for further investigation.

                        We'll get back to you when we have an update.

                        We're sorry for the inconvenience.
