Frequent reasons for network problems consist of:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server sites
To address these problems, you may consider the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by briefly turning off the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G while the VPN is disabled to detect any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to stay within the same geographical region, disconnect and reconnect as this might connect you to an alternative server in the same area.
- Keep performing these tests until you identify the most appropriate server for your needs.
