Typical reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN)
- High user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To fix these problems, you may consider the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by disabling the VPN temporarily
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN turned off to spot any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is unstable, consider using a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, change to a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this might connect you to another server within the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you determine the best server for your needs.
