Understand connection status

LarePass displays the connection status between your device and Olares, helping you understand or diagnose your current network connection.

INFO

When accessing private entrances from an external environment through VPN, if the status shows "DERP", it indicates that the VPN cannot directly connect to Olares via P2P and must use Tailscale's relay servers. This status may affect connection quality. If you constantly encounter this situation, please contact Olares support for assistance.
