Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you can consider the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G while the VPN is disabled to spot any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, try using mobile data instead.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this might connect you to an alternate server within the same region.
- Continue testing until you determine the best server that meets your needs.
