Troubleshooting War Room

How to troubleshoot issues within the War Room software.

When trouble shooting War Room functionality the SYSTEM STATUS window of War Room is the place to start to obtain info about active accounts, VPN connections, and overall system status.

1. Let’s start by checking the SYSTEM STATUS from within the War Room app.
2. Navigate to MY PROFILE
   
3. Click SYSTEM STATUS
   
4. Underneath STATUS you should see three messages displayed accordingly to ensure War Room is functioning properly.
   1. Network is working
   2. Virnetx One Platform is enabled
   3. Connected to War Room
   
5. Beneath CONNECTIONS the system should indicate an ACTIVE VPN to the War Room server. Ideal circumstances will indicate a DIRECT UDP connection, however in some cases a RELAY TCP connection may be active. In this instance we recommend restarting War Room to establish a DIRECT UDP connection for peak meeting performance. For how to restart War Room to establish a healthy connection read our article here. (link to how to restart war room next article?)
