Typical reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- High user congestion at specific VPN server locations
To fix these issues, you may consider the following strategies:
- Assess 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 connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, try using a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to maintain a connection to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect, as this may connect you to a different server in the same area.
- Continue these evaluations until you identify the best server that meets your needs.
