Many players in GTA V RP face issues when trying to log into the game and immediately start blaming the server. In most cases, however, these problems come from their internet provider, not the server itself. I would like to give special thanks to Jonny Odds, who helped in writing this article.

Reset Network Settings

This resets network adapters and settings to fix connection glitches or misconfigurations.

What to do in Windows 10:

  1. Open Start Menu → Settings
  2. Click Network & Internet
  3. Select Status on the left
  4. Scroll down and click Network reset
  5. Click Reset now and confirm, then restart PC

What to do in Windows 11:

  1. Open Start Menu → Settings
  2. Go to Network & internet
  3. Scroll down, click Advanced network settings
  4. Select Network reset under More settings
  5. Click Reset now and confirm, then restart PC

Change DNS Server

Changing DNS helps bypass slow or faulty DNS resolution causing connection problems.

What to do in Windows 10/11:

  1. Open Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and Sharing Center
  2. Click Change adapter settings on the left
  3. Right-click active network adapter → Properties
  4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) → Properties
  5. Select Use the following DNS server addresses
  6. Enter one of these DNS server pairs (Primary / Secondary):
  7. Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1
  8. Google: 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
  9. OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220
  10. Quad9: 9.9.9.9 / 149.112.112.112

Click OK and close all windows

Flush DNS Cache

Clearing cached DNS data can resolve stale or incorrect domain lookups.

What to do in Windows 10/11:

  1. Open Start → type cmd
  2. Right-click Command Prompt → Run as administrator
  3. Type: ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter
  4. Wait for confirmation message

Disable Extra Network Adapters

Deactivating unused or conflicting adapters avoids routing and connection conflicts.

What to do in Windows 10/11:

  1. Open Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and Sharing Center
  2. Click Change adapter settings
  3. Right-click adapters not in use (including extra VPN adapters) → Disable

Restart Router and PC

Reboots reset network hardware and clear temporary issues.

What to do in Windows 10/11:

  1. Turn off your modem/router and unplug power for 30 seconds
  2. Restart your PC as usual
  3. Plug modem/router back in and wait until fully connected

Use a VPN

VPNs can bypass ISP or regional restrictions temporarily causing connection failures.

What to do in Windows 10/11:

  1. Download and install any free VPN client from the list below
  2. Open the VPN app, register if necessary, and connect to a server
  3. Retry connecting to your server after the VPN is active

For different VPN (if one doesnt work try another), please google.

If you try to use another VPN, everytime uninstall the old VPN that you tried, then restart, then install the new one and then restart again before trying to connect. Try multiple IPs / Locations per VPN, not only in your region / country!

We are not responsible for other services that may temporarily block you from their services when you use a VPN.
This is only a Help Suggestion for GrandRP.
