VpnGatePlugin_x64.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like VpnGatePlugin_x64.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like FileCoAuth.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. VPN Gate Client Plug-in with SoftEther VPN Client) could share the same VpnGatePlugin_x64.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when VpnGatePlugin_x64.dll is attempted to be loaded either when VPN Gate Client Plug-in with SoftEther VPN Client is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common VpnGatePlugin_x64.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - VpnGatePlugin_x64.dll.
