Frequent causes of network problems include:
- Reduced internet speeds locally (without using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you can attempt the following methods:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to locate any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is unstable, consider switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a new server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this may link you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you identify the most appropriate server for your needs.
