Common causes of network problems are:
- Slow local internet speeds (without using a VPN).
- High user traffic at specific VPN server locations.
To address these issues, consider trying the following methods:
- Temporarily disable the VPN to check your local internet speed.
- Test various network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN off to identify any connection problems. For instance, if your WiFi is unreliable, switch to a mobile data connection.
- Switch off the VPN, select a new server location, and then reconnect.
- If you want to stay connected to the same geographical area, disconnect and reconnect as this might connect you to a different server within the same region.
- Repeat these tests until you find the most suitable server for your needs.
