Frequently encountered reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, consider trying the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by briefly disabling the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN off to pinpoint any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is unstable, switch to a mobile data network.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to maintain connection to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this may connect you to an alternative server within the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you identify the most suitable server for your needs.
