Many reports say it often fails to connect or reports a fake connection, with device compatibility problems and region-specific blocks (notably in Iran). Some experiences show it gets stuck on fetching configuration or is outright unusable. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong praise for speed and usability, but persistent stability problems limit practical use.

General unreliability / unusable / useless reports
