Common reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To fix these issues, you can try the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by momentarily turning off the VPN
- Test various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN off to pinpoint any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is unstable, switch to a cellular data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you prefer to remain connected to the same geographic area, disconnect and reconnect, as this might connect you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
