# Unable to Access Server Using VPN

If you are still unable to access the server after setting up the VPN environment, it could be due to the following reasons:

* Ensure the IP address and port number are entered correctly: e.g., 26.65.142.83:8211 (format: `IP-address：port-number`).
* Firewall blocking network connections: Try disabling the firewall on the server's operating system.
* VPN network connection issues : VPN connections may encounter issues with a blue screen, preventing connectivity. You may consider using [direct IP connection](https://dalufishes-team.gitbook.io/palserver-gui-en/quick-start/setting-up-server-connections/using-direct-ip-connection) or referring to solutions[ here](https://home.gamer.com.tw/creationDetail.php?sn=4447589).
