Typical reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you can attempt the following strategies:
- 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 connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, switch to a mobile 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 in the same region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you identify the best server for your needs.
