Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN)
- Elevated user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, consider trying the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections, such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to detect any connection difficulties. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this might connect you to another server in the same region.
- Repeat these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
