Common factors contributing to network problems include:
- Slow local internet speeds (when not using a VPN)
- Increased user traffic at specific VPN server locations
To address these issues, you may consider the following approaches:
- Verify your local internet speed by temporarily turning off the VPN
- Experiment with different network connections like WiFi, 4G, or 5G with the VPN disabled to pinpoint 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 geographic area, disconnect and reconnect, as this might connect you to another server in the same region.
- Keep conducting these tests until you identify the optimal server for your needs.
