Frequent reasons for network problems include:
- Local slow internet speeds (without a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, consider the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by momentarily disabling the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN turned off to spot any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, try a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this may link you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep testing until you identify the best server for your needs.
