Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not 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
- Assess various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to detect any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, switch to a cellular data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect as this may connect you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
