Common reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN)
- High user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you can try the following solutions:
- Monitor your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G while the VPN is disabled to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is unstable, switch to 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 might link you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you determine the most appropriate server for your needs.
