Error code: 5. permission denied

The “Permission denied” error appears when the VPN Client app wasn’t allowed to install a VPN profile.

The step when you change a server or choose a new location and the VPN Client offers you a profile installation is critical. Without allowing it to do so, the connection becomes impossible.

Please allow the VPN Client app to install the configuration profile, which is required for operation. For this, do the following:

  1. Open VPN Client and choose a country server to which you want to connect.
  2. The app will initiate a VPN Configuration installation. Please click “Allow” to confirm the installation.

The issue should be solved.
