**Incident Summary – Proton VPN VPN Servers Authentication Outage** **Date & Time:** 7:30 CEST – 10:30 CEST \(2025‑09‑10\) **Impact:** A subset of users experienced connection failures when connecting to Proton VPN servers. The issue prevented new sessions from being established. **Root Cause:** During a scheduled update to tighten our authentication policies, a manual configuration change was applied incorrectly. The erroneous setting unintentionally blocked valid credentials for a portion of the user base. **Resolution:** Once the misconfiguration was identified, the affected settings were rolled back and the authentication service was restored. All systems returned to normal operation by 10:30 CEST, and users were able to reconnect. **Status:** The incident is now closed. Services are fully operational, and no further impact is expected.
