Offices, campuses, hotels and some carriers drop UDP. Then WireGuard and IKEv2 fail to connect while TCP-based protocols keep working. Let us check what the network you are on right now allows.
Press the button; it takes about six seconds.
The browser asks STUN servers (Google, Cloudflare) to reply over UDP. A reply means UDP passes and WireGuard will very likely connect. No reply while local addresses were found means the network drops UDP, and you need a TCP-based protocol.
In your VPN app pick VLESS (it runs over TCP 443 and looks like ordinary HTTPS) or turn on automatic protocol selection. Background in what is VLESS and VPN not working on Wi-Fi.
It probes the STUN ports (3478 and 19302), not your VPN server's port. A network may allow one UDP port and drop another, so WireGuard on a non-standard port occasionally still works. Nothing is sent to our servers.
404 VPN runs VLESS over TCP 443: where UDP is closed, the connection still gets through and looks like an ordinary website.
