Frequent reasons for network problems consist of:
- Slow internet speeds locally (without using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, consider the following approaches:
- Verify 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 connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain in 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 locate the most appropriate server for your needs.
