Common reasons for network problems are:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you can attempt the following techniques:
- Verify 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 switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a new server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain within the same geographical area, disconnect and then reconnect, as this may connect you to a different server in the same region.
- Repeat these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
