Common reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- High traffic from users at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you can attempt the following solutions:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is unstable, try switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect, as this may connect you to an alternative server within the same region.
- Continue performing these tests until you identify the best server for your needs.
