Typical reasons for network problems are:
- Slow internet speeds locally (without a VPN)
- High user demand at specific VPN server locations
To fix these issues, you can try the following techniques:
- Verify your local internet speed by turning off the VPN temporarily
- Experiment with various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to pinpoint any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi is unstable, 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 reconnect, as this may connect you to a different server within the same region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you discover the server that best meets your needs.
