How to fix error code “3078” on Zoom
Method 1: Restart Internet
code error «3078» in Zoom on different devices appears due to the use of the software in uned regions, the list of which can be found on the official website. If you are in any other part of the world and the connection keeps ending with this error, you need to restart the internet.
To carry out this task, you will only have to go to the settings of the router and use the reset button, the location of which may vary from one model to another. This will be true for all wired and wireless connections, not including mobile Internet.
If you experience a problem on your phone when using mobile internet, try temporarily disabling mobile data mode. The solution may also be to temporarily turn on "On the plane".which forcibly blocks the device from connecting to cell towers.
Method 2: By restrictions using a VPN
To use Zoom in officially uned regions, you can hide your location using a VPN. As an example, we'll look at a fairly powerful computer program and phone app, although alternatives can be found on your own if you wish.
Option 1: Computer
Since many VPNs currently perform quite poorly in the RF, the best solution is OpenVPN with free configurations. The only disadvantage of this solution is the need to reconnect periodically, since the s are updated daily.
- Follow the above link to the software development site, scroll down to the version block and the version in the "64-bit Windows MSI Installer". If you have a 32-bit operating system, you can also the package "32-bit Windows MSI Installer"..
- Once you have ordered the , open the added installation file and click "Install Now".. You can also expand the section if you want "Personalize" and make changes to the list of components and the installation path before pressing a similar button.
- The software itself does not offer any feature to hide the location, so the first thing to do is to the settings. To do this, click on the following link and, in front of the desired region, click on "Access" button. and use the marked link "UDP".
- To use the proxy, you need to double-click the ed file with the left mouse button and in the pop-up window confirm the import. You can also expand the program's main menu via the taskbar icon, open the list of "Import". and select the file using the option “Import configuration file”.
- If everything has been done correctly, when you open the menu, a set of various options will appear. In this list, all you have to do is press "Connect". and wait for a new window to appear.
- in the text box "name". when using any free configuration, you must enter “freeopenvpn”while "". it is different and changes frequently. You can get it from the page like the image where the setup was originally ed from.
When it is complete, the program icon on the taskbar will be highlighted in green, while errors are reported in a separate window. You can also check that the connection is correct by visiting the home page of the online service «2IP.RU»..
Make sure to restart the desktop version of Zoom and try connecting to the desired conference. At least the error in question should go away, although a stable connection cannot be guaranteed.
Option 2: Telephone
On mobile devices, the VPN offer is much broader than on a computer and includes many free tools such as the aforementioned OpenVPN. However, for the purposes of this tutorial, we will look at another only partially free app that is available on all platforms and highly reliable.
- To use this app, install it from the app store, and from the home screen, tap "Disabled".. Note that there are several modes available here, the easiest of which is "Automatic"..
- If you are not satisfied with the speed and latency of a particular server, you can change the location at "The fastest location.". This will change the real location to the new location and you will be able to connect to the conferences in Zuma without restrictions.
Finally, note that an issue may occur if at least one of the s in a conference connects from an uned region. To safely avoid the error, each peer must be in the correct region or the traffic must be carefully encrypted.
Method 3: Disable proxies and VPNs
Although it is possible to by the restrictions by using a VPN, this can still be the cause of the above error due to unfortunate server location. As you can easily guess, the only solution in this case is to completely disable or at least replace the VPN that is being used.
We will not even describe how to work with different VPNs as an example, because if you have managed to hide your real location, it is unlikely that there will be a problem with the reverse action. Anyway, after disabling the proxy, it is advisable to completely restart Zoom and the device if the connection ends with an error.
Method 4: Disable the firewall
On Windows computers, network connections can be controlled by standard firewalls or by third-party firewalls designed to block entire websites and programs. In some cases, despite the description provided above, this can also cause an error with the code «3078».
