Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Elevated user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you can attempt the following strategies:
- Verify your local internet speed by turning off the VPN temporarily
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to pinpoint any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, consider switching to mobile data.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and then 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 performing these tests until you discover the most effective server for your needs.
