Typical reasons for network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- High traffic from users at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you might consider the following methods:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to spot any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is unstable, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain within the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this may connect you to a different server in the same region.
- Keep performing these tests until you discover the most appropriate server for your needs.
