FAQ
Why does Android fail more often than web?
App cache/state, delayed rollout, and version differences are the main reasons.
Should I reinstall the app immediately?
Only after update + cache clear + relogin fail. Reinstall is a later step, not the first.
Can VPN change availability?
Availability can vary by region policy. Use legitimate account settings first; avoid risky workaround behavior.
