Radmin VPN taking forever to connect or not connecting will prevent you from accessing your remote network and disrupt your workflow. To put an end to that, you have to address configuration and network issues causing the problem.

Here’s how:

How do I fix my Radmin connection?

1. Check your Internet connection

Problems with one’s Internet connection are inevitable for anybody who uses it these days. If a certain website won’t load, you should try using a different website.


In case none of them load effectively, try to change your network connection to another source. If you don’t have any, simply disconnect and reconnect to your current one.

The Radmin VPN stuck on the connecting issue should be gone now.

2. Use Registry Editor

  1. Press Windows and S and type in Registry. Click on the topmost result in order to open Registry Editor.reg-search Radmin VPN not connecting

5. Try another VPN

  1. Get a reliable VPN with a Remote Networking feature. We recommend NordVPN because it offers Meshnet for free.
  2. Install it and log in. For remote connections, you’ll have to install the VPN app on all devices you want to interconnect (up to 60).installing nordvpn
  3. Navigate to the Meshnet feature in the sidebar and enable it.
  4. Add the devices you want to connect to your Meshnet.link devices on nordvpn meshnet
  5. Test the connection by ensuring you can access each device on your Meshnet network.

If all else fails, consider switching to an alternative to Radmin.

We like NordVPN because it lets you securely connect up to 60 devices across different platforms for file sharing, gaming, and remote access. It’s free, easy to set up, and fast.
