Frequent reasons for network problems consist of:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN in use)
- Increased user demand at specific VPN server locations
To fix these issues, you may consider the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G while the VPN is disabled to detect any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is unstable, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect, as this may connect you to a different server within the same vicinity.
- Repeat these tests until you discover the best server for your needs.
