Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Local slow internet speeds (without utilizing a VPN)
- Increased user activity at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, consider attempting the following methods:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily disabling the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN turned off to detect any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this might connect you to a different server in the same region.
- Keep testing until you identify the best server for your needs.
