Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user activity at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, consider the following strategies:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to spot any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, try switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, change to a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain within the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this may connect you to a different server in the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you identify the most suitable server for your needs.
