Common reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Heavy user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you can attempt the following solutions:
- Verify your local internet speed by momentarily disabling the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN turned off to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, consider switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographical region, disconnect and reconnect as this may link you to another server within the same area.
- Keep conducting these tests until you identify the most appropriate server for your needs.
