Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (not using a VPN)
- Elevated user traffic at specific VPN server sites
To address these issues, you might consider the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by temporarily disabling the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN switched off to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, try using mobile data instead.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect as this might connect you to a different server within the same vicinity.
- Keep performing these tests until you discover the most suitable server for your needs.
