Frequent causes of network problems include:
- Local slow internet speeds (without the use of a VPN)
- Elevated user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these problems, you might consider trying the following approaches:
- Assess your local internet speed by temporarily disabling the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections such as WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN turned off to spot any connection issues. For instance, if your WiFi is inconsistent, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Disable the VPN, choose a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to maintain connection to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect, as this may connect you to a different server within that region.
- Keep performing these tests until you identify the most appropriate server for your needs.
