Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN in use)
- Elevated user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To fix these issues, you might try the following techniques:
- Assess your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is unstable, consider switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect as this may connect you to another server within the same region.
- Repeat these tests until you identify the most appropriate server for your needs.
