Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Local slow internet speeds (without a VPN)
- Heavy user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To fix these problems, you might consider the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Try various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G while the VPN is disabled to pinpoint any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to maintain a connection within the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this may connect you to another server in the same region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
