Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without utilizing a VPN)
- Increased user activity at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you can attempt the following solutions:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to detect any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect as this might connect you to a different server within that region.
- Repeat these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
