Common reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you can try the following solutions:
- Assess 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, consider switching to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a new server location, and reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and then reconnect, as this might connect you to a different server in the same region.
- Continue conducting these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
