Frequent reasons for network problems consist of:
- Local slow internet speeds (without a VPN in use)
- Increased user traffic 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 such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to detect any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, consider switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a new server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to maintain a connection to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this might connect you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you identify the most appropriate server for your needs.
