#### Understanding VPN States

##### Process State

The Process indicates the VPN server operational state.

<div align="left" dir="ltr" id="bkmrk-state-meaning-user%2Fd"><table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-style: solid;"><colgroup><col width="75"></col><col width="187"></col><col width="312"></col></colgroup><thead><tr><td>State

</td><td>Meaning

</td><td>User/Device Impact

</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Running

</td><td>VPN tunnel is active

</td><td>✅ Users and devices CAN connect securely  
❌Users and devices CANNOT be added.

</td></tr><tr><td>Exited

</td><td>VPN tunnel is inactive

</td><td>❌ Users and devices CANNOT connect.  
✅Users and devices CAN be added.

</td></tr></tbody></table>

</div>Common Causes of "Exited":

- Administrator manually stopped the process
- Tunnel was disabled (automatically stops process)
- Inactivity timeout (no connections for extended period)
- Technical error or crash (rare)

💡 Troubleshooting: If process shows "Exited" unexpectedly, check Tunnel Status. If "Disabled", enable it. If "Enabled", manually start the process.

##### Tunnel Status

The Tunnel Status determines management capabilities.

<div align="left" dir="ltr" id="bkmrk-status-meaning-what-"><table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-style: solid;"><colgroup><col width="83"></col><col width="226"></col><col width="315"></col></colgroup><thead><tr><td>Status

</td></tr><tr><td>Disabled

</td><td>Tunnel is inactive and locked down

</td><td>❌ Cannot start process  
❌ Cannot add/remove users/devices  
❌ Cannot edit tunnel  
✅ Can view details  
✅ Can delete tunnel

</td></tr></tbody></table>

</div>**When to Disable:**

- All connected users/devices are disconnected
- No new connections possible until re-enable
