Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Local internet speeds that are slow (without a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To fix these problems, you may try the following methods:
- Verify your local internet speed by briefly turning off the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to detect any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, consider switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to maintain connectivity to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this might connect you to another server within the same region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you locate the best server for your needs.
