Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To fix these issues, you might consider the following approaches:
- Evaluate your local internet speed by temporarily disabling the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN off to pinpoint any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, try switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain in the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this may connect you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you identify the most appropriate server for your needs.
