Virtual Private Network Parameter Error

This problem is usually caused by a conflict in locales and lowercase letters. The system may be set to use certain locales, (locales are a set of parameters that distinguish a user by language, country, region and any special variant the user wants in their interface). The error code you stated presents the fact that the lowercase letters do not map correctly with the locales of the user.

To correct this problem the best course of action is to remove the conflict by ensuring all the objects use uppercase letters or change the system's locale. Hope this helps you solve the problem.

Thanks.

Hi Ashly,

This happens when your system is set to use certain locales to which lowercase letters do not map correctly. To fix this error, either make sure that all objects use only uppercase letters or change the locale of the system. Because they didn't match. I hope this solution will help you to solve your problem.

If that error appeared while you were downloading files and you are using a VPN, check the VPN client you are using. Microsoft Windows doesn’t have a default VPN client that runs automatically with the operating system. A VPN client is installed separately by the user from third-party services.

If you are using VPN all the time when you connect to the internet, try going online without using any VPN. Download your files again without using your VPN then see if this works. If the files download successfully, try updating your VPN client if a new version is available or try to uninstall and reinstall it. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install it.

Once installed, start Revo Uninstaller then select your VPN client among the applications and click “Uninstall”. Follow the normal uninstall process. When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds. This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, close Revo Uninstaller then install your VPN client back.

See if this works.
