Frequent causes of network problems consist of:
- Local slow internet speeds (without a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you might consider the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by momentarily disabling the VPN
- Test various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN turned off to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic region, disconnect and reconnect, as this might connect you to a different server within the same area.
- Continue performing these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
