Typical 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, consider the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily deactivating the VPN
- Try different network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to detect any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, switch to using mobile data.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this may connect you to another server within the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
