Common reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without the use of a VPN)
- Heavy 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 various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, try switching 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 then 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.
