Frequent causes of network problems are:
- Slow local internet speeds (without a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To fix these problems, you might consider the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G while the VPN is off to detect any connectivity issues. For instance, if your WiFi connection is unstable, try using mobile data.
- Disable the VPN, select a different server location, and then reconnect
- If you wish to remain in the same geographical area, disconnect and then reconnect, as this may connect you to a different server within the same vicinity.
- Keep performing these tests until you discover the best server that meets your needs.
