Report a VPN Issue: Evidence and Privacy Checklist
Report a Kuaimiao VPN issue with clear timestamps, versions and comparison results. Use the template and review screenshots and logs for private information.
Describe the failure before naming a cause
A connected sign, a page that times out and a link lost after the phone changes network are three different situations. A report that only says the VPN is broken leaves the reader to confirm device, version and network one by one, and altering several settings at once without notes means you cannot tell which step mattered.
Record what you did not test as not tested or unknown. On a work, school or otherwise managed device, stick to the administrator's rules and leave policies untouched. This page helps you organise a report, it is not an automatic diagnosis, and it promises no feature that was not verified.
Six categories of evidence to gather
Record the approximate time with its time zone, the operating system and the client version. The version can come from system information, the app settings or a confirmed download source; if you cannot find it, note it as unconfirmed rather than reinstalling the software again and again.
Keep “application connected” separate from “website loaded.” Preserve the difference between a timeout, a certificate warning and an HTTP response such as 403. Note whether one service or all tested services fail, whether another device is affected, and whether an update, sleep or network change preceded the incident. Timing suggests a question; it does not prove the cause.
Run a small comparison and change one thing
Save anything not yet sent and pick two sites you are allowed to open. Note the current state, disconnect in the normal way and check plain access; only then consider reconnecting once. Whether a route can be changed depends on what the client actually offers, so do not assume a mode or button exists.
If convenient and permitted, repeat the same task on another network of your own and keep an eye on mobile data cost. Change one condition at a time and write the result down, and never clear the browser, reset the network and swap the client together or switch off protection to prove a point.
Duplicate this blank form
Paste the template into your notes or into a support channel you have confirmed. The brackets are reminders for filling in rather than documents to upload, anything untested stays marked, and a draft reaches nobody by itself.
Incident time and time zone: __________
Device and system version: __________
Client version and download source: __________
Network type (SSID optional): __________
What the client displays: __________
Failed action and error text: __________
Number of affected sites: __________
Result after disconnecting normally: __________
One reconnect or single-variable comparison: __________
Untested entries: __________
Screenshots and logs masked for privacy: __________
Question you want support to confirm: __________A sample entry, clearly marked as illustrative
The example is fictional: around 20:15 Beijing time a laptop on home Wi-Fi showed the client connected, site A reported a timeout while site B worked, site A still timed out after a normal disconnect, mobile data has not been tested, and the problem began after a resume from sleep without proving a link. It is not a real Kuaimiao incident and not a measurement.
The example tells what was seen and leaves the cause open: it does not widen one failing site into a network-wide fault, and it does not blame a driver only because the timing lined up. In your own report, use your own system, version and error wording, and share a business domain only after confirming it is appropriate.
Share the minimum necessary information
Trim the screenshot to the error and the state that matter, checking the address bar, other tabs, notifications and open windows. Mask email addresses, phone numbers, account identifiers, QR codes, verification codes, subscription links, payment details and access tokens, and inspect the query parameters before sharing a URL.
Logs and wireless reports may expose device and network identifiers together with business addresses that should stay private. Do not paste a whole log into a public thread and never send a password or recovery code in chat. Use the confirmed support entry, let the other side specify the files and the time span, and send a written summary first if there is no safe upload channel.
Stop safely and document the outcome
Stop when you meet a certificate warning, an unfamiliar sign-in page or a request for a password or payment code. Leave network policies on managed devices alone, and when plain access is already broken, fix that first instead of running route tests with nothing to compare.
After the service returns, keep the original record and append when it came back, which single change was made and the result of the same task. If it recovered on its own after waiting, write that no setting was changed and the cause is unknown instead of presenting a verified fix, so the next occurrence can be compared.
