Troubleshooting
  • Double check you entered the correct team name, to check click on "profile" and if something besides alfredstate is listed, click logout and return to step 6
  • However, if no team is listed, and you see something similar to the screenshot below, scroll down on the profile tab and click "Login" under "Cloudflare One team login" and return to step 6Uploaded Image (Thumbnail)
  • If you are unable to access a specific resource remotely while using the VPN, especially if you could with previous VPNs please contact the Help Desk at our information below so we can submit a ticket to add the functionality to the VPN (or submit a ticket at the link below with as much detail as you can provide)
