Note

I wrote own notes with <...>.

Screenshots
Also I have an interface issue:

Image

A strange orange circle outline.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2
  • Version (old): 4.8.11.4 3b3a0aac
  • Version (new): 4.8.12.9 f7379284

Additional context
I live in Russia and set the Russian app language. I'm the developer also and I try to write all useful information for you. I analyzed the logs and I think, that:

  1. Amnezia cannot to connect the server, because of Russians blocks enhanced.
  2. Amnezia cannot to read a some device (QIODevice) on my PC and a connection cannot be solved.
  3. Amnezia unknown error.

Anyway, I hope you can fix that. Thanks.

But now it works. Strange...

I don't know, how to measure a VPN's speed, but the speedtest.net shows 520 in | 483 out Mbps, Google Chrome downloads and site loading at 0.4-1 Mbps average.

Do I need to close this issue?
