How to troubleshoot Verizon Smart Family VPN
If you’re having trouble with Verizon Smart Family VPN, there are a few things you can do to try and fix the issue.
First, make sure that the VPN is actually turned on. You can do this by going to the settings menu and looking for the VPN option. If it’s not turned on, simply turn it on and then try connecting to a website.
If the VPN is turned on and you’re still having trouble connecting to websites, the next step is to check your DNS settings. DNS is what translates website addresses into IP addresses, so if your DNS settings are incorrect, you won’t be able to connect to any websites.
The easiest way to check your DNS settings is to use the “ping” command. To use ping, open a command prompt (press the Windows key+R, type “cmd” into the Run box, and press Enter) and type “ping 8.8.8.8”. This will ping Google’s DNS servers. If you get a response, that means your DNSsettings are correct and you should be able to connect to websites without any problem.
If you don’t get a response when you ping Google’s DNS servers, that means your DNS settings are incorrect and you’ll need to change them. The easiest way to do this is to set your DNS serversto 8.8.8.8 (which is Google’s public DNS server) and 8.8.4.4 (which is Google’s other public DNS server).
To change your DNS servers:
1) Go to the Control Panel (press the Windows key+R, type “control” into the Run box, and press Enter)
2) Click “Network and Internet”
3) Click “Network and Sharing Center”
4) Click “Change adapter settings”
5) Right-click on your active network connection and select “Properties”
6) Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” from the list and click “Properties”
7) Select “Use the following DNS server addresses:”
8) Type 8.8.8
