Frequent reasons for network problems consist of:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you might consider the following options:
- Verify your local internet speed by momentarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G while the VPN is disabled to pinpoint any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, try switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographical region, disconnect and reconnect as this might connect you to another server within that region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
