Frequent reasons for network problems consist of:
- Sluggish internet speeds locally (without utilizing a VPN)
- Elevated user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you may want to try the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily deactivating the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN turned off to pinpoint any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this may connect you to a different server within the same zone.
- Keep conducting these tests until you identify the most appropriate server for your needs.
