Hi @wuhualu185086661

The program tries to access http://www.vpngate.net/ . In case it failed, then it will try the next mirror link defined in config.ini. When all links return error, "Failed to get VPN servers data" shown up.

Be sure that you can access http://www.vpngate.net/ or any mirror in the link below
https://github.com/waylau/vpngate-mirrors
http://www.vpngate.net/en/sites.aspx

If you can't access any of those links, then The Great Firewall of China has blocked them all.
However, you can build a webserver to fetch http://www.vpngate.net/api/iphone/ file in any free host outside of China, encrypt and then download it.

Hi, I can not get connection neither. I'm getting a connection timeout when I execute ./run cli

Failed to get VPN servers data
Check your network setting and proxy

[leewp14]

What if I can actually access the mirror sites on browser, but ./run cli shows read timed out?

[Dragon2fly]

@leewp14 Is your browser using a proxy to connect to the mirror sites?
Does it happen also with ./run tui?

The http_proxy in the environment may affect the program.

[leewp14]

@Dragon2fly No, my browser has no proxy connection, and the http_proxy environment is not set. I'm also able to ping the mirror sites through terminal.
But I retried with a normal wifi just now (previously I'm on mobile data hotspot) and it works. I'm not sure, maybe it is a problem with my data? (i already not using the mobile data anymore)
But anyway it works now, thanks!
