Why can't I turn on McAfee VPN on Android?

McAfee is a popular security software vendor and is available for free download on Android, IOS, Linux and Windows. Recently I started receiving an error when trying to turn on the VPN service on my devices.

Here's the error message that I got on all four: "Error Turning On McAfee Secure VPN Service. Please make sure that Internet access is enabled and firewall rules allow Internet access from your computer. Contact the McAfee service team to report this issue or contact us at www.mcafee.com/contactus for more information."

And the following dialog that appears after clicking OK: What can I do to resolve this error? Is there an alternate way of activating the VPN service on my device other than the normal settings window? I did look into the firewall and the settings of the firewall. Everything seems fine in these areas.

Why would McAfee not be able to turn on its VPN service on an Android phone if the settings are just fine? What exactly is causing the error? When you turn off Windows 8/8.1, if there's no WiFi connection, it cannot turn back on again, and shows "the WiFi Connection has been lost. Try to reconnect the WiFi Connection." message when you click "Start" button to turn on.

It's a known bug. No solution yet though. It may happen to people with a wireless router or a wired router (if your router uses a wired connection) that suddenly disconnects or changes the IP, even if the IP address of your device is static.

The best way to tell if it's true is to try the steps outlined in the article. However, the fix could work, but it's still kind of hacky. The problem lies with the router. If your router is malfunctioning, it will cause the network to go down temporarily. Try to restart the router and see if your connection comes back on.
