====== Troubleshooting - Known issues ======
===== I could not establish a connection =====
Please not that it is not possible to establish a connection whilst being connected to the WiFi network of OTH (this includes both "Eduroam" as well as "secure.hs-regensburg.de") as you then already are connected to the university network. Thus a VPN connnection is not necessary anyway.
**If you encounter connection issues, please check the following.**
* Do you have a sufficiently fast internet connection? Using mobile data 3G should be available; slower connections like EDGE could potentially be too slow.
* Are the configuration parameters correct? Please check with a click on "Settings" within the FortiClient app whether server and username are correct
* Are there updates for the FortiClient app available? In case the most recent version of the FortiClient app is not installed, there could potentially be compatability issues with the VPN-Gateway.
* Restart your smartphone
