Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without utilizing a VPN)
- Elevated user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you can attempt the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by temporarily disabling the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN turned off to determine any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is unstable, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this may connect you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you locate the most appropriate server for your needs.
