Tunngle does not start on Windows 7: possible causes and solutions

If anyone does not know, the Tunngle application is a unique cross-platform program that allows you to play all kinds of games using Internet connection on-line. However, despite the seeming simplicity of installation, the problem often often arises that Tunngle does not start. Why this happens and how to deal with it, now it will be considered.

Why Tunngle does not start: possible problems

As for possible failures during the installation and use of this software package, the reasons for the occurrence of numerous failures, such as the impossibility of determining a virtual network adapter or errors related to access rights, can be quite a lot.

Most experts and the situation and such failures, when the Tunngle adapter is not running or the application itself, is associated with the "clumsy" hacked Windows (in particular, the "seven"), incorrect installation of the game package, firewall system or antivirus prohibitions, incorrect data in the settings of the adapter and the router , Finally - with the problem drivers for the devices needed to run the program. In general, there are enough reasons. Let's consider each of them in more detail.

What should I do if Tunngle does not start? Correct installation

Let's start, perhaps, with the installation of the software product. Here everything seems to be simple, but some of the nuances still need to be taken into account.

We'll talk about it right away so that the problem does not appear when Tunngle does not start on Windows 7, for example, you should pay attention to the fact that you want to install the latest version of the application, and for the installed system. And this build Tunngle 5.6 and higher.

In addition, you must first register on the official Internet resource using a confirmed login and password (they will be useful during work), although you can register during installation.

After starting the installer file, we agree with all warnings and accept the license agreement and agree with the installation of the equipment. In general, the standard procedure. It is important to know that at the end of the process, you must necessarily reboot the system, otherwise activation of the application will be impossible (the installer itself will offer a reboot).

But it seems that the correct installation in some cases does not guarantee that a failure, when Tunngle does not start, does not appear even when the application is first launched. The reason for this is the lack of proper configuration of some network components.

Tunngle adapter settings

So, Tunngle does not start on the computer (nothing happens). What does this mean? Typically, the wrong configuration of the newly installed virtual adapter. To correct the situation, we proceed in the standard way.

First, we use the standard "Control Panel", and in it - the section of the Network and Sharing Center. Here you need to change the Tunngle network adapter settings a little. Right click on the additional menu, where the tab of additional parameters is selected. Note: in front of the line indicating the automatic metric, there must necessarily be a "bird". In addition, you need to set it to the topmost position (use priority).

Configuring the Router Ports

No less common problem when Tunngle does not start without error is the use of the already occupied port on the router (you can see it in the application itself or in the adapter settings, and then register the same value in the router settings).

Setting Exceptions

In addition, the installed port should be added to the so-called list of firewall and antivirus exceptions.

It is often enough to block access at this level. In other words, a connection through this port using a virtual adapter is regarded as unreliable with a possible external access attempt.

Creating a game server

If this helps either partially or does not help at all, and Tunngle does not start in any of the above options, let's pay attention to the application settings.

Even if there is an error, it's okay. In the interface of the program, you first need to create a game server, exit the application, and then reboot the system and see how the program behaves in this case.

Problems with software updates

Sometimes the situation can be related to the updates of the software package itself. As mentioned above, the system should be installed with version 5.6 and higher, since it is the most "normal" in the work.

In extreme cases, you can use the application interface menu with the subsequent selection of checking a new version and updating it to it.

Problems with updating drivers

But the problems with obsolete drivers, and not only the main network adapter or graphic video accelerator, can be attributed to the most, so to speak, global. What is most sad, in Windows, the function of automatic search and update of device drivers is simply not provided, and it is not possible to determine that any driver needs to install updates.

In this case, use better third-party programs, for example, the utility Driver Booster, but only, again, it is desirable the latest version. The program after the start will begin the scanning process and determine absolutely all the devices that need to update the drivers.

Here it is worth noting that it is better, of course, to update the drivers for all equipment without exception, since the Tunngle program in the process of working refers not only to the video, sound or network devices installed in the system, but to some others.

Correcting system errors

Another problem, when Tunngle does not start at all, can be a banal presence of system errors in Windows itself. It goes without saying that fixing them manually is a thankless task, especially since inexperienced users are not advised to climb into the registry and change some keys or delete records.

Ideally, you can use such powerful utilities as, for example, CCleaner, Advanced System Care and many others. However, it is better not to install the standard, but use a portable version. This is due only to the fact that some "cleaners" by default can use their own built-in module to optimize the Internet connection or include turbo-acceleration, which also often can provoke communication disruptions.

Instead of the total

Thus, proceeding from all the above, the user for normal work with the program should pay attention to several mandatory conditions:

• Use the latest version of the program;
• Correct installation with mandatory registration;
• The correct settings for the adapter and router;
• Availability of the latest updated versions of device drivers (even virtual ones);
• Use the exclusion list in the blocking programs for the installed software package and the specified ports.

In the rest, I think, there will not be any difficulties with installing and configuring the application. In extreme cases, if nothing helps at all, first you need to make sure that the computer configuration corresponds to the declared system requirements or to remove the application completely and then perform the installation again.

The only thing that you should pay attention to when removing this is the use of a non-standard Windows uninstaller, and more powerful tools like iObit Uninstaller, which is able to clean both the residual files and system registry keys.

Perhaps, in some cases, it may be necessary to update Windows, but, as practice shows, only at the level of system components. Packages of security updates for the performance of this application do not have much influence (anyway the program and ports through which connection to the game servers are made are included in the list of firewall exceptions).

Well, as for working with a normally functioning program, this is a separate issue. However, in the interface, available games or rooms for games to understand the labor will not be, especially since the software package supports a huge number of game servers around the world that are available in any region, regardless of the location of the user who installed and uses this package.
