Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Local slow internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- High levels of user activity at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you may consider the following approaches:
- Temporarily disable the VPN to check your local internet speed
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G while the VPN is off to pinpoint any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is unstable, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disconnect the VPN, select a different server location, and reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect, as this might connect you to an alternative server within the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you identify the server that best meets your needs.
