If you have been using Psiphon successfully for a few weeks, but are now facing issues or have questions regarding its use, here are a series of steps and considerations to help you troubleshoot or utilize the tool effectively.

### Confirm Internet Connectivity

Before addressing any specific Psiphon-related issues, ensure that your Internet connection is stable. Disconnect from Wi-Fi and reconnect or check your Ethernet connection.

### Check Psiphon Status

1. Reconnect to Psiphon:
- Open the Psiphon application.
- Click the “Connect” button to re-establish a connection.
- Observe if any error messages appear during the reconnection process.

2. Ensure Proper Disconnection:
- After using Psiphon, make sure to disconnect it cleanly. Improper disconnection can lead to issues with your system’s proxy settings.

3. Check Proxy Settings:
- Launch Internet Explorer.
- Go to the Tools menu (or gear icon) > Internet Options.
- Click on the Connections tab and then the LAN Settings button to review if any settings need restoration to default.

### Troubleshoot Connection Issues

1. Connection Failed Messages:
- If you see repeated "connection failed" notifications, it may indicate no available available servers. Try downloading a new version of Psiphon or waiting before reconnecting - learn more.

2. Handling Proxy Errors:
- Should you find that webpages do not open post-usage, reconnect to Psiphon and cleanly disconnect it again. For persistent issues, manually reset your proxy settings as outlined above - learn more.

### Utilize Psiphon Features

- Using Psiphon Bump:
- For improved connection options, check how to use features like Psiphon Bump. This can be beneficial if you're connecting through restricted networks. You can find guidance on these features in the Psiphon FAQ - learn more.

### Support Resources

If the issue persists despite following the above steps, consider seeking further assistance through the Psiphon support channels or community forums where you may find others with similar experiences and solutions.

You can reference the Frequently Asked Questions for more detailed guidance regarding common issues and setups - learn more.
