Common reasons for network problems include:
- Sluggish local internet speeds (without a VPN in use)
- Increased user activity at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you may attempt the following strategies:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Explore various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is unstable, consider switching to mobile data.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain within the same geographical region, disconnect and reconnect as this may connect you to an alternative server within the same area.
- Keep performing these tests until you discover the most suitable server for your needs.
